| Because you are not really trying to memorize a geographic location on the fingerboard, you are trying to train your brain and ear to have an "expectation of pitch" so that you EAR tells you where the note is. The wonderful thing about playing this instrument in many wasy is the expressiveness that you have in terms of darkening pitch or brightening pitch.
There are FAR too many players who insist that they are playing "in tune" because they are putting their finger in the correct "place" instead of LISTENING.
