This page contains a complete guide to the guitar fretboard. Using the charts and diagrams on this page you’ll be able to find out where to play any note.
The picture below shows the notes you should tune the strings of your guitar to. This is the standard way of tuning a 6 string guitar.
There are other ways of tuning a guitar. These include ‘drop-D tuning’, in which the bottom string is tuned down a whole tone to a D; and DADGAD, in which the strings are tuned D, A, D, G, A, D from bottom to top.

Below is a chart showing all of the notes on a guitar fretboard. You can use the chart to find out where notes are.
The notes repeat after the 12th fret (e.g. the notes at the 13th fret, from 6th string to 1st string are: F, A#/Bb, D#/Eb, G#/Ab, C, F).
Notes On The Guitar
The following diagrams show every note on a guitar fretboard with its corresponding musical note in tab and notation. (Tab is a system of guitar notation. If you haven’t come across tab before, see our page on how to read tab.)
Each diagram shows the notes of an individual string. After the twelfth fret the notes simply repeat along each string an octave higher.
After the diagrams is an explanation of what to do if the note you wish to play is either sharpened (i.e. has a little # sign next to it), or flattened (i.e. has a little ‘b’ sign next to it).
How Do The Notes On The Staff Relate To The Guitar's Fretboard?
In music, notes are often ‘sharpened’ or ‘flattened’. Sharpened notes have a sharp sign (which looks like a hash: #) next to them. Flattened notes have a flat sign (which looks like a small letter ‘b’) beside them.
In music notation, notes can be ‘sharpened’. A sharp symbol (see below) is placed next the the note. A sharp raises the pitch of a note by a semitone. Therefore, if you see a sharp sign next to a note, you should play it one fret higher.
Note: Sharpened and flattened notes can lead to ‘enharmonic’ notes (e.g. A# and Bb) which are the same pitch, but with different names.

In notation, notes can also be ‘flattened’. A flat symbol lowers the pitch note by a semitone (one fret). Therefore, if you see a flat sign next to a note, you should play it one fret lower.
For example, the A played at the 5th fret of the 6th (bottom E) string is the same note as the open 5th (A) string.
The E note of the open 1st (top E) string is found in 4 other places on some electric guitars – and 5 other places on 24 fret guitars! Can you find them all? (Without looking at the guitar notes diagram!)

The best way to learn guitar string notes is by playing guitar scales. Play various scales at random positions on the guitar neck. (You can find suitable scales here: Guitar Scales.) As you play the scales, say the name of the individual notes aloud.
Learning guitar strings notes doesn’t have to be hard work. It doesn’t even take long, provided you set your mind to it.
Not every guitarist learns all of the notes on a guitar fretboard. There are plenty of players who get by with just a basic knowledge of the notes on the bottom E and A strings (useful for knowing where to play barre chords) and not a lot else.

That’s fine, but we think that a good knowledge of the fretboard is helpful: not only with your guitar playing, but also with your enjoyment and understanding of music.
By learning what notes you’re playing, you’ll begin to see how chords and scales are constructed and improve your understanding of how music works.

In this lesson, we’re going to learn the names of the open strings on the guitar. When I first learned to play guitar, I avoided this for a long time because I didn’t really have a good way to remember the names of the strings. This lesson is an important one because you’ll soon be tuning your guitar, but also because you need to know the names as you start learning the notes up and down the guitar fretboard.
Let’s quickly recap the numbering system for the strings of the guitar. The first string is the thinnest string, and you’ll count the strings in order, so the thickest string is your sixth string. Like the numbering system for the strings, learning the names is a bit counterintuitive because most people learn the strings from the sixth string to the first string.
The name of the thickest string, the sixth string, is E. Moving on, the fifth string is A, fourth is D, third is G, second is B, and then the first string is E.
How To Remember Guitar String Order & Names
Now you’re probably thinking there’s no way you can remember all these strings, and that’s what I thought when I started too. Eventually, I decided to come up with a silly saying to help me remember the names of the strings: Eat All Day, Go to Bed Early.
I’m sure this sounds silly to you, because it kind of is, but you can use any saying that helps you remember the string names. The other thing that will help you remember the names is realizing the outside two strings are both E, so you only have to remember the four strings on the inside.
Knowing the names of the strings by memory will help you out in future lessons, especially in the next lesson where we go over how to tune the guitar.

What Notes Are The Guitar Strings On A Piano
Because guitars can be tuned differently. (E.g., for folk guitar, or heavy metal, or just for the fun of it!) The majority of the time guitars are tuned to standard tuning, as shown above. But that’s not
The 6th string will always be the 6th string. (However ‘the E string’ might be tuned to an alternate tuning, like a D note, for example. If this is the case, you can’t really refer to it as ‘the E string’ if it’s not tuned to E!)
If you’re a beginner, don’t worry too much about alternate tunings! (It’s really not something a beginner needs to know or even think about.) How do I remember the names of the guitar string notes?
Learning The Guitar Fretboard Notes
You don’t have to start from the thickest (6th) string. For some people the layout simply ‘clicks’ better in their mind if they approach it starting from the thinnest (1st) string.
It doesn’t matter which one of these mnemonics you use, just choose one which is memorable for you. (The sillier the better!) Just make sure you remember which way you’re counting.

Are Guitars Similar To Pianos
You may have heard this phrase when we talk about guitar strings. It’s a bit of an odd one, but when we talk about the top string, we’re actually referring to the high E string. (The 1st string.)
This can be confusing for beginners, as when you look at the guitar from your perspective, it’s actually the opposite the way round!
The reason we refer to them like this is because, when we’re talking about the ‘bottom’ string and the ‘top’ string, we’re referring to the pitch of the strings, not the physical position of the strings.

Try it! Play the low E string, then play the high E string, can you tell that the thicker one has a mch lower tone than the thinner one? (It’s two whole octaves lower.)
To play a fretted note, you need to push down on a fret with your fingers. (It requires two hands. One to pluck a string and one to hold down on a note.)
With open strings, all you need to do is pluck them with your picking hand. (No fretting is required. You can do this with one hand.)

Fun fact! It’s actually possible to play a couple of chords without fretting any notes. If you’re not too sure how to play guitar chords, this lesson will help you: How To Play Guitar Chords: A Beginner’s Guide Open String Chord #1 – The ‘G’ Chord
