This is a common problem for Tab people. (I use tab, but I also read sheet) One thing that will help you is to equate the note with the corresponding fret number. So, just to give you an example, I’ll give you the first twelve frets of the low E.
E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# E or for flats,
E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C Db D Eb E and in tab:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. Learn the rest of the strings, and go from there. Also, once you have down, say the note out loud, or in yr. head, whatever, so you start associating it. So, if you have a note or chord with its root ion the 5th fret, per se, then start thinking “A” or “D” or whichever it is. As far as scales go, it’s beneficial to memorize both the scale pattern and tone relationships as well as the frets or what have you. Scales a bit heavier in the theory than I think you’re looking for, but I hope this will help you out.
