Do you know what note you're on?

I can honestly say if anyone asked what note that was, I'd have to think about it, I couldn't always say it straight off the cuff, certainly not at the dusty end. I don't read dots and I've never tried writing music, so to me a fretboard isn't an alphabet of notes but more a map of shapes

For those of you guided by shapes, you're in good company.

Most guys proficient in theory are doing the same as that too, with their minds slightly more open to what they're actually playing.
