I have been studying down the Beginner path and have hit a roadblock

I am at the lesson(s) for melody and specifically o"n the “Twinkle Twinkle”  part

I am not sure what I am looking to accomplish from these exercises - I can get them but it takes awhile

I feel I am trying to memorize the notes, which I would have to do for every song  I

What do I derive from the notation ? facility of picking / learning where notes are on the fretboard?

I am sure it is just one little thing that will “open the floodgate”

Or Not ??

You are doing a great job with the lessons and hope we can find a solution

Thanks
