And it's backwards

No offense, but this is a horrible way of learning all the notes on the fret board and they're kinda wrong.

Here's some good information from various users about learning notes on the fret board.

LOL it's not backwards. It's only backwards if you read it like tableture. But, I suppose it would be easier for seasoned players to read if it were flipped.

Not really. I based the colors and form on the Rocksmith Game's interface. This is only supposed to be a reference. Not a way of learning.

I haven't read tablature in years, but I'm pretty sure you read it Low to high EADGBE, not high to low. You're basically viewing the guitar as a viewer rather than a player, according to your chart.

But when learning don't you use reference material for you know..learning?

FIXED!!!
Now it has both the normal and Rocksmith flips to the string orientations.

The mods might want to put a warning on this thread for the epileptic members here.

There we go, yeah much better that way round! The original made me as confused as picking up a left handed guitar

I'm not sure if I should tell you because it's so obvious... :/

 

[Dayn]

You might want to make the notes white. I can't see anything.

Black letters against a dark grey background. OP is not asian

LOL Okay!

Actually, the white letters didn't look so good on it. Even the white between the dark parts of it hurts my eyes when I look at them.
You may try increasing the brightness or contrast of you screen?

 

[Mr. Big Noodles]

Then do white background with dark letters. And change those fonts. As you have it, it's hideous.

Here's a tip. To find the same note but on the immediate string below the one you are playing simply add 5 to the fret number of the note you are playing
Here's an example you are playing C at the third fret on the A string. You want to know where the same note is on the low E string. What you do is add 5 to 3 (the number of the fret where the C note is in the A string) and you get 8, so to play C on the low E you fret at the 8th.
You can do the reverse of this process if you want to find the same pitched note but up a string.

This changes slightly with the G and B string, you have to add or subtract 4, not 5.

Do people actually use charts like these? If you know what each open string is tuned to and that each fret up is another semitone up then you know where the notes are. You could teach that to a monkey, or even a djent or metalcore fan, in about five minutes (djent and metalcore fans might take 10).
