One of my most popular YouTube videos teaches you to find intervals by counting frets. This one is the method I use most often when I have a guitar in my hands: learn the interval of every note inside the rectangle and stack, and you can read any note on the neck, x-ray any chord, and add colors to a shell chord without learning a new grip.
The cheat sheet is available below as a PDF, in right- and left-handed editions. Silver members can read it on this page too, with every key diagram from the video and a short practice routine.
