Learning by ear mental mapping note names
I primarily learn tunes by ear as I find it is the best and quickest way for me to truly commit a song to memory.
Lately I’ve been thinking of taking it a step further and saying the names of each note as I play them either aloud or in my head as a way to really learn the fretboard more thoroughly rather than relying on shapes and patterns by themselves without knowledge of the actual note name.
Is this worthwhile? I’m sure I could get by for a long time as is, but this seems like it could lead to a deeper understanding and connection with the music.
