The Fretboard - high E string

The final string on the guitar is the top or high E string.

Note: it is the same as the 6th string


It is named high E because it is high in pitch. And it's the top E because of the way it sounds, but really it's closest to your toes.

The notes are:

E---F---F#---G---G#--A---A#---B---C---C#---

If you follow the sequence through, when you reach the 12th fret you'll be at E again
