Seems that this topic has died a little, maybe everyone has found the notes & is no longer interested, but there is always new SWS players coming along so...
As with my previous post we have the Fret Pro game to help in finding those notes, it won't do it for you on its own but it helps.We know how to find the note from the octave but as Griff mentioned this is not " finding the note you want right away " & the whole idea of this exercise is to be able to identify the notes quickly & accurately - just as you can find the notes on the 6th & 5th string.So it is still a process of getting it into the memory banks - & keeping it there !
Another way to do this , with guitar in hand & following the notes as outlined in SWS , is to use the ' 5 pattern ' ( I just made that up ) by going back 5 frets from the fret you are on & the adjacent string under you have the same note ( this is if starting on the 6th string - if we start at the 1st string we go forward 5 frets , not counting the fret you are on ) so for D its 6th string 10th fret , 5 frets back/adjacent string , we have D on the 5th fret, 5th string.This continue's its merry way until we get to the party pooper string - the 2nd ! It does not want to play ball & likes to be a bit dificult , so when going from the 3rd string to find the note on the 2nd we only count back 4 frets ( not counting the one you are on - & vice versa if we are starting on the 1st string ), i hope this is understandable & clear because I got one of my headaches now
edit : I forgot to add that if you have, say 'G' 0n the 6th string 3rd fret, you still count back 5 frets & when you reach the nut, you continue from the 12th fret as the notes are the same at the 12th so you end up on the 10th fret 5th string ' D ' .
