GUITAR PLAYERS - LEARN THE NOTES ON THE NECK - E String
To summarize the last two Blogs:
There are only 7 letters of the alphabet to learn - ABCDEFG
It’s good to know them back to front – GFEDBA
Between B and C and also between E and F there are no SHARPS or FLATS
A SHARP note is one note closer to the sound hole
A FLAT is one note closer to the tuning pegs
Now let’s put that in to practice
The lowest sounding string is an E string …Yes?
So if we apply the information written above we can start naming the notes as we work our way up the neck, and to keep it simple for the moment we’ll forget FLATS exist:
E---- F---- F sharp ---- G ---- G sharp ----A ---- A sharp ----- B---- C
We’ve just completed the first 8 frets of the guitar.
One day at a time, one string, that’s enough for to day.
More tomorrow
