What is the easiest way to memorize a guitar fretboard?

Memorizing the Fretboard Practice Plan

1. Play up and down the low E string 10 times slowly while calling the note names out loud.
2. Play up and down the A string 10 times slowly while calling the note names out loud.
3. Play up and down the D string 10 times slowly while calling the note names out loud.

How long did it take you to memorize the fretboard?

What I mean is that each set of 2 strings repeat the same notes 2 frets up. So if you memorized the patterns for the E and A you pretty much got the whole neck if you extrapolate out diagonally. I learned the fretboard after thirty years, effectively, in about 2 hours with the super cluster method.

Should I learn the fretboard first?

First start learning the notes on the fretboard and take your time with it. This will already change everything as you will learn to recognize the notes you play. Once you've mastered this, you can learn chord and scale notes and analyze some of the things you play.
