FRETBOARD the A STRING

LEARN THE NOTES ON THE NECK - A String

After reading the last couple of posts you’ll know the seven letters of the alphabet used in music are ABCDEFG and I'll assume you’ll know them backwards – GFEDCBA

Now we’ll go to the next string, the A string, the second lowest sounding string.

The principles are the same right throughout music. As in the previous post about the E string we’ll only use sharps at the moment.

The notes on the A string are:

A --- A sharp --- B ---C --- C sharp --- D --- D sharp --- E ---F



So if you complete this tomorrow by the end of the day, you would have mastered the first 8 frets on 2 strings

One day at a time, one string, that’s enough for today.
