for those wanting to check out absolute fretboard trainer, I found a link...

EDIT: link was worthless, and I'm not spending $50.

I'll look at it tomorrow.

you know i'm sure that would help me, but i have no idea what any of that means. i know most of the people on here understand chord theory and all of that which makes me kind of feel like an ass because im really not too bad at playing but i just improv and read tabs. although i did save the file, im not too sure what to do with it.

its just the notes of the fretboard, the numbers at the top are which fret it is in. the only real purpose it serves is an alternative to learning the notes on the fretboard. its just a pattern i used nothing more :lol: if you have anymore questions let me know

the only pattern i see there is the two string/two fret octave rule, though it applies more to bassists.

right, so really bassists only need to learn the E and A strings, and then we can just use the octave rule for the D and G strings.

not really the pattern continues on the b string, you just skip one fret
