It's isn't immediate for keys. It's a bit more efficient but it's still challenging and takes experience.
Makes sense. I'll remember that if I ever teach a beginner. My last student was in '84 or so. Big-hair teenager somewhere out in Queens. He told me he wanted to play like the guy from Whitesnake....
It took me 2 years of serious practice before the fretboard 'locked in' for me. I'd say it was more of a time on the instrument thing as opposed to any particular exercise. Any new voicing or...
