Hi, we went through the notes in music in the previous lesson and in this lesson I am going to throw some light on the Guitar fret with notes in music. I am referring the 6 string Guitar here. The thinnest string is the first string (#1 in picture) and sixth string is the thickest one (#6 in picture). Take a look at the picture; we have the Guitar fret and the notes written on it. I believe this will help you a lot to create the base to play guitar.
We have a standardised tuning in the Guitar. The tuning of Guitar goes like this:
E for the sixth string
A for the fifth string
D for the fourth string
G for the third string
B for the second string
e for the first string
Please refer to the picture for clarification.
That means if we don’t press any note on the 6th string and play it openly the E note will be played and the same way on the second string B note will be played and so on…
As we read about the notes in the previous lesson, the order of the notes is – A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab and then A again.
On the first string (#1 in picture) e the next notes will be F, F#, G, G# and so on…
On the second string (#2 in picture) B the next notes will be C, C#, D, D# and so on…
On the third string (#3 in picture) G the next notes will be G#, A, A#, B, C and so on…
On the fourth string (#4 in picture) D the next notes will be D#, E, F, F#, G and so on…
On the fifth string (#5 in picture) A the next notes will be A#, B, C, C#, D, D# and so on…
On the sixth string (#6 in picture) E the next notes will be F, F#, G, G#, A, A# and so on…
This is how we make the block diagram of the Guitar Fret.
I know it might be confusing if you are newbie but don’t worry I am working on the free video lessons and will upload soon so stay tuned…
