I remember Before Christ, Elmer Fudd! That is, B - C and E - F are one fret apart - all the others two frets apart. For working out where I am, I have three reference points
First is the 5th fret - same note as thinner string above (4th on the G string).
Second is 7th fret - same note as the thicker string below it (6th on the G string).
Third is the 12th fret note - same as the open string.
The first reference point repeats at the 17th fret (16th on the G string) and the second at the 19th frets (18th on the G string).
I find that if I don't know what a note is, then going up or down a few frets to the nearest reference point helps me work it ou quickly, which is helpful when jamming a song you've never played before. FWIW my theory and scale knowledge is rubbish.
