Guitar Lesson How To Easily Learn All The Notes On The Guitar Fret Board!

It’s Mike here again from KillerGuitarTips.com

Hi all… This week I have a tip for beginners… as a budding killer guitar player you need to “eventually”, one way or another, get to know EVERY note on the fretboard!!!!

Before you run off and hide in a corner, as I know this may seem really daunting at the moment, there is a really simple way for you to learn these notes. It is a common myth that it is difficult to learn all the notes on the fret board!! Until now!!

So here goes:…

We have twelve musical notes in total using the letter A B C D E F G and the symbols # (sharp) or b (flat) to name them.

All you have to do is remember that all the letters are followed by a #(sharp) or b(flat) EXCEPT B and E.

The idea of this article is to keep things really simple so we will just use the # for now.

We will start will the note A played on the fifth open string as the fifth string is the start of the alphabet! Now as the open string is A then the 1st string is A# meaning the 2nd fret is B, 3rd fret C (remember there is no # after B) the 4th is C# so the fifth is D…

Carry on up the neck (remember there is no # after E) when you reach the twelfth fret you will be back at A again and the whole process starts again… Try practising this on every string, eventually you will be able to plop your finger on any note and be able to say what note that is instantly…

You are going to find this tedious and quite boring at first but know one got anywhere worthwhile without a little work. Get this cracked at you’ll find it will be well worth your while later on.

I always like to over deliver so this week I would like to give you not one tip but two! This next tip is also for all you beginners out there…

So here we have another tips for beginners…

As you have probably gathered by now there are six strings on your guitar. The first being the thinest and the sixth the thickest. Now if you play the strings without holding them down then this is termed as playing the string open. All the six strings are each tuned to a note and on the guitar tuning of the strings is as follows and is called standard tuning:-

6th string is E 5th string is A 4th string is D 3rd string is G 2nd string is B 1st string is E

You must learn these strings of by heart as it is essential in your progression as a guitar player.

I hope you are finding these tips I am giving you each week enjoyable and beneficial. Until next week…

Enjoy,

Cheers
