Tips for memorizing the Fretboard!

I haven't done it a much yet, but I guess saying each note out loud as you play it helps.
Starting on an open string and going up to 12 and than the next string.
I saw the names changed when you go back from 12 to 0, so probably practice them separately.
Got a little confused doing both at the same time.
Another way to further that would probably be to take sections of 4 frets and name those,
playing it down or up the strings and not up and down the fret board. Good Luck!
I'm going to practice naming a bit again right now, after reading this

So, I guess you can memorize it either with sharps or flats, right?, Doesn't make that much of a difference, right?.
You just need to realize which note is corresponding to one another I guess, correct?

I'd memorize it thinking of both - but starting with Sharps was easier for me if I was Ascending, & Flats if I was descending. The reason you want to know both is so that you can visualize/think of your Major Scales/Keys the easiest way. For example, your first fret on the A string - I call it A# on the video, which is correct, but I usually think of that fret as Bb, because the Bb Major Scale/Key is a lot easier to keep in your mind than the A# one: A# B# C## etc - you can see why
Bb would be : Bb, C D Eb, F G A - 2 flats versus LOADS of sharps.To be honest, It really doesn't make a massive difference - unless you try to exclusively choose to think of everything in the Sharp side - that will end up confusing you as soon as you try and play in any 'Flat keys' as you'll get what keys like A# give you.
I tend to be like: A, A# or Bb, B, C, C# or Db etc - just to remind myself that the fret can be both.
Hope that makes sense!

My techniques to memorized the fretboard is to play bass guitar, because bass only used one note for chords, so and now I just memorized them, and I hope it helps
Well i actually play on a floyd rose, that's constantly in drop d.
What i usually do is, i just think of the 1st lower string as the 3rd D string, its easier that way

Do Lesson 6 once every day and you'll have it memorized in no time!
This is how I applied Lesson 6 to my practice/ warm up. That part is at 5:54

From my experience, don't be cute with it. Go note from note on every string with a metronome.
Start slow.
One note on every string and keep adding notes. Once you got all natural notes, fill in the gaps (# and b). After kinda knowing where all notes are, take a metronome and cycle through them, even at 40 Bpm and over time increase your BPMs.
It takes a while but, it worked for me. Bonus if you use the Circle of 5ths.
