As we continue with our series dealing with practice techniques that require no physical practice, we will cover a technique in this installment that I myself using to this day. This invaluable practice technique is called Fretboard Visualization.
Let’s say that most of us don’t have three hours a day to practice (I’m sure I would much rather be doing that than most anything else!).

Having a working knowledge and understanding of the guitar fretboard is absolutely essential if you want to be able to solo, improvise, or compose on the guitar. Learning riffs and licks to your favorite pop songs can only take you so far. You might know how to play these from tab or even by ear, but do you really know what you are playing and how it all connects together?
