Notes on the Fretboard. u need to memorize them all! sort of like picturing the whole fretboard in ur head. that really helps alot in soloing and u wont get lost when u improvise! =)

hey tnx guyz..................it really helps me a lot...............thenk you very much.......................

for example..........if i use F#,D5,A5,and E5..............what scale should i use or what scale should i use for my lead?.....................

@celtrix
F#minor scale for these chords
all the notes of the four powerchords are in the scale and it starts with f#

@zmazz yes , very much needed for a leadguitarist, good point!
