Use standard tuning (E A D G B E), string numbers, fret numbers, and the 12-name chromatic cycle to name any fret on one string. Work with sharps and flats, including the E–F and B–C places where there is no extra fret-name in between.

Use open strings, dot frets, natural notes, and the 12th fret repeat as anchors so you do not have to count from zero every time. Practice finding a target note by moving from the nearest known landmark.

Trace when the same exact pitch appears on a neighboring string in standard tuning. Use the 5-fret crossing pattern, notice the G-to-B string exception, and check when a duplicate pitch is or is not available.

Apply the previous explanations in a guided problem.

Find the same note name higher or lower on the neck with octave shapes. Follow the common two-strings-over patterns, adjust around the B string, and use the 12th fret as the open-string octave.

Compare multiple places to play the same note and choose one that fits your hand position, string sound, and next move. Build the habit of finding notes directly instead of waiting for a chord diagram to tell you where to go.
