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

By Mike Jones

Mike at KillerGuitarTips again...

Hi guys... This week I have something for all you beginners out there! As a new guitar player striving to become a great player you will need to "eventually" learn every note on the guitar fret board!

Don't panic!!! Before you have an absolute fit and throw your guitar on the floor as I know you will find that statement really daunting, there is a really easy way for you to learn these notes!. Against contrary belief it's not that hard when you know how.

So let's have a look...

There are twelve musical notes in total and we use the letters A B C D E F & G and the symbols # (sharp) or b (flat) to name them.

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

To keep things simple we'll just use # 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 will find this quite tedious at first but know one ever got anything worthwhile without a little work! You'll have to trust me on this one as I know it pays off big time later on!

Also this week I would like to give you two tips! So here's your second one... also for all you beginners out there...

I know there hasn't been many tips for you guys as beginners but remember in the full audio/video program there is a secret structured progression from absolute beginner through to killer guitar player in the shortest possible time.

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
