HOW do you visualize it?

Bi-linguals often have to hear the spoken word in their original language then mentally transpose it into the desired alternate language before responding.

When it comes to playing......there seems to be some interest here on the FORUM for fret board NOTE CHARTS. One member states it helps him to study these charts so that he can better prepare the chords he's going to play.

Wouldn't a thorough understanding of that same fret board.......for the purpose of playing.......eliminate some unnecessary and time consuming steps in the process of playing a tune?

If you realize what strings CAN and CANNOT be played together.........in building your melody or whatever, is it necessary to relearn all of the notes on the next fret up or down, in the event you decide to change keys? The steel guitar does not have black and white keys like a piano and the differing finger positions of a spanish guitar does not apply to the steel guitar.

Just curious........

I've always figured the most important thing (on the "E neck") would be to learn all the major chord positions on the neck using strings 3-4-5-6-8-10 in various combinations and going up the neck for the same chord such as open--no pedals- then 3 frets up raise E's and pedal "A' then up 4 frets pedals "A" & "B" etc etc but then maybe that's why I never mastered the thing. - Embarassed

Bill, I'm with you. I never knew that there was any other way than what you just described. Idea

So right, Bob---that's what I get for posting in the morning before coffee. I corrected it--thank you. - Smile
