i think its more difficult finding a note on the guitar than reading the music... i used the program fretboard warrior + a small bit of prior knowledge to learn all the notes on the fretborad, it doestn help much because it still takes time and its in no particular order.. first u just need to learn where all the D,s are, the Bs, maybe the E,s, and the Gs then d/l fretboard warrior, and then just use that. What im working on now is, going thru scales.. all of them. but instead of just going thru the pattern, i write the scale notes out, and then i play it using the music notes instead of tablature. Pretty sure thats the only way to do it. I feel like theory is something u can latch on to alot quicker than learning guitar... its like after u learn all the A's and D's on a fretboard, it makes learning the B's and C's easier, and its like that, you just build on it and it gets easier, its just very tough at the beginning because you have no references.
I've actually been playing for quite a bit and the only thing I ever really excelled at was my technique... I took lessons for 8 months and my skill progressed insanely... and now I feel like I'm back to square one with this shit.
