Answers: You know what I mean? Like those little dots on the fretboard?
They help tell you where certain frets are. There are usually dots on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th (has two dots), 15th, 17th, 19th, and 21st frets.
They are there to give you a feel for what fret you are using, and in general a visual perspective of where your next fingering is.
The dots are put in certain places. They help beginners learn the locations of certain frets, making it easier to learn to play. Also, the different styles help personalize the guitar.
