Finally learn the names of the notes of the Mandolin fingerboard. Learning the notes of your own instrument allows you the flexibility of not having to remember so many shapes. There are way too many chord, scale and notes patterns to remember all the shapes. It all comes down the the notes.

Beyond knowing the names of the open strings most players find it hard to learn the whole fingerboard. You need to know the names of the notes like it’s second nature - just being able to figure them out is too slow.

If your goal is to finally learn the names of the notes on the fingerboard. Then the ”Learning the Fingerboard” series of books is your answer. Each book in the series has a step by step approach to finally mastering the fingerboard.
