Lesson 1: Fretboard basics

The fretboard consists of 7 notes. In alphabetical order they are:

A - B - C - D - E - F - G

Between two notes, except B - C and E - F, we have what is called a flat and/or a sharp note. These are the symbols that are used to determine a flat and a sharp note:

#: Sharp note
b: Flat note

If we list the notes again including the sharp and flat notes we get:

A - A#/Bb - B - C - C#/Db - D - D#/Eb - E - F - F#/Gb - G - G#/Ab

Example 1: C# and Db is actually the same note. The note is a sharp C and/or a flat D.

A standard guitar has six strings (from top to bottom):

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

You can learn the string arrangement easily, by making up a phrase consisting of the letters EADGBe to help you remember it.

Example 2: Eat All Day Get Big easy

Feel free to use this example, or try to make up your own acronym.
