The next note on the A string, 1st fret, will be the A# note find that note. The first note starts with the open A string, find that note. The image below will now show you how to find the notes along the A string. You can figure out each note, on each of the six strings, using the same process as we did above. To prove this, look at the G note on the 3rd fret, you will find the G note repeated at the 15th fret, 12 frets away from the 1st G note. I say again, because on the guitar, every note repeats after 12 frets. Then we would have the C#, D, D# and finally to the E note again. The next note, at the 8th fret, will be the C note. We will learn more about this when we construct the major scales in that chapter. Find that B note and notice there is no B# note. Moving to the next fret, we have the A# note.Īt the 7th fret, we run into the B note. Moving along the Low E string, we reach the A note, at the 5th fret. As we move up 1/2 step, or 1 fret on the low E string, we will reach the G# note, 4th fret.
Look above and find the G note at the 3rd fret. That's the F# note.Īs we move along the Low E string, we reach the G note. Look at the 2nd fret below on the Low E string. 1/2 step from the F note would be the F# note. Look below and notice there is no E# note. To get a sharp note, we would move 1/2 step above the previous note, 1/2 step on the guitar, would be 1 fret. The next note on the Low E string, 2nd fret is the F# note. If you were to fret, or push down on the Low E string at the first fret, you would be playing the F note, look above and find that F note on the first fret. I recommend that you should have some type of guitar tuner. Of course, to create this E note, your guitar would need to be properly tuned. If you pick the Low E string, without fretting any note, you would be playing the E note. This E note, will represent the Low E string when played open. Look at the image of the guitar fretboard above and find the E note or Fat E. These 6 strings, when in tune, will be the Low E string, A string, D string, G string, B string and the high E string. These 6 notes, represent the 6 strings used on the guitar. Look at the fretboard below and notice the 6 notes to the left of the guitar fretboard. We will illustrate these guitar notes and their placement on the Low E string. The 12 notes along the Low E string are: E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# and E There will be twelve different notes that we need to learn on the guitar fretboard. The high E string is the thinnest string and creates higher notes than the Low E string. The Low E string is the thickest string on the guitar and creates the lowest note or tone on the guitar. We are going to move along the low E string and lay out each note on the fretboard. This information will be reinforced as we move through the guitar lessons and more information will be covered in the sharps and flats lesson. Notice the F#, it would be a black key on the piano. For example, if you wanted to play in the key of G major, you would use the notes of G A B C D E F# G. The black keys on the piano are the (sharp #) and (flat b) notes and are used to construct other scales or keys. The flat notes are represented by the (b) symbol. The sharp notes are represented by the (#) symbol. If you were to play the piano, you could play the key of C major by using just the white keys. The key of C major is unique, because it does not contain any sharps or flats, which are called accidentals. The 8 notes in the image below, represent all of the notes in the key of C major. That will give you the low E note or tone.
The open position means that you pick or play the string without pushing down or fretting the note. The first note is the E note, that is actually the Low E string in the open position. Once again, look at the image below and notice the notes along the low E string. The notes illustrated on the guitar fretboard are the E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G and G#. The low E string is the thickest string on your guitar. The image below illustrates a guitar fretboard and shows the notes along the Low E string up to the 16th fret. To play a note on the guitar, you would fret or push down on a string to create a note. For example, if you were to push down a single key on the piano, you would be playing a note. In this guitar lesson, we will learn where each note is located on the guitar fretboard.Ī musical tone or note can be created in a number of different ways.
