Does anyone have any advice in regards to seeing a note on the page and knowing its location on the guitar itself? I've been saying the name of the notes as I play them, but I'm struggling a bit in regards to seeing a note on the page and knowing its location on the guitar in a reasonable amount of time.

I find I'm much more likely to play a song when listening to it off the CD than I am reading the notation of the page. I actually think my experience on violin is hindering this process, as the guitar frets and note location on a violin are different, primarily due to the differing number of strings and half-steps the guitar possesses.
