An important lesson to understand the guitar is to understand how you find guitar string notes on a guitar. Read here more about guitar string notes:
To find notes on your guitar is really important to understand playing the guitar. When you understand the guitar string notes it is more easy for you to read music notes. In the following blogpost we try to break this complex topic a bit down and try to explain where every guitar string note lies on your guitar.
On the picture underneath you can see the neck of a acoustic guitar with its 6 open guitar strings named E, A, D, G, B and E. Moreover you see the fingerboard diagram which shows you the guitar string notes of the guitar with 1 index Finger, 2 Middle Finger, 3 Ring Finger and 4 Pinky Finger. Including to these 4 string notes you can see the guitar string notes which you can play with each “finger”.
The Ultimate Guide To Acoustic Guitar Strings
This first illustration was only a small introduction that you can understand how these so called fretboard diagrams work. Depending on your guitar (acoustic, electronic, bass) your fretboard will look different for each guitar. Underneath you can see the Guitar Fretboard Diagram for Flat Notes:
To play an acoustic guitar well you should learn the acoustic guitar string notes so you can read and play notes well. For example to play some melodies or advanced chords of your favourite song you need to learn these guitar string notes anyway. These Guitar Fretboard Diagrams are also known as Guitar String Chart.
A note is sharp when it is one fret higher in pitch than a natural note. So if there is a C guitar string note on the 3rd fret of the A String, the fourth fret of the A string will be a C# (C Sharp) note.

A note is flat when it is one fret lower in the pitch than the natural guitar string note. This means that the note on the second fret of the A string is technically a C flat because it is one fret lower in pith than a C. It also happens to be a B note.
The chart above contains all natural notes and we hope that you get an idea on how the mechanism work with a guitar string chart, sharp notes and flat notes.
On the left we have the open strings of the guitar, the guitar string notes which you make without any finger on the guitar string. It starts with E, B, G, D, A and ends with E.

The best way to learn the guitar notes is to find and remember the patterns in the shapes the notes make. Therefore you should use a guitar string chart which suits to your type of guitar and just learn learn learn.
Underneath you find the fingerboard (guitar string chart) diagram for an electric guitar. This guitar string charts always help you to find the placements for your fingers on your electric guitar. To learn the guitar string notes fast you should practice playing the most common open strings on your electric guitar to get to known with your guitar and the notes.
Here you have the nine fret guitar neck guitar string chart that has the notes in letter names for all six strings’ frets up to and including the 9th fret:Guitars typically feature six strings of varying thickness. The thickness of a string is related to its pitch. If two strings are the same length, the thicker string will have a lower pitch than the thinner string.

The tension of a string is also related to its pitch. Guitar strings are tuned (tightened and loosened) using their tuning keys. Applying too much tension to a string tightly can raise it to the pitch of the next note, while loosening it can easily lower it the same amount. Increasing the tension raises the pitch.
The length of a string is also important. When a string is supported at two points and plucked, it vibrates and produces sound. However, if the length of this string is shortened, its pitch will increase.
When a guitar string is not being pressed, it is supported at two points: the nut below the head and the saddle on the bridge. These parts are extremely important, as the tension of the string rests on them.
Parts Of The Guitar
When a string is held down it makes contact with a fret on the fingerboard, and the fret now acts as the support point instead of the nut. The two points supporting the string are now the fret and saddle, so the vibrating part of the string is shorter, causing its pitch to increase. Note that if position 12 (between frets 11 and 12) is held down, the string is now half of its total length and its pitch is raised one octave. For string 6, this means that the pitch will change from low E to high E. If position 7 is pressed the string will be shortened to 2/3rds of its total length and the pitch will increase from low E to B. At position 5 the string will become 3/4ths of its total length and its pitch will increase from low E to A.If you want to learn how to tune your guitar quickly and correctly check out this lesson: How To Tune A Guitar The Right Way: A Guide For Beginners
This is why it’s important to always have a tuner on-hand. Personally, we recommend the Snark ST-8 for its accuracy and super-tight grip. Check it out!
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
Tuning Pegs Of An Acoustic Guitar
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?
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.

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.)
Acoustic Guitar (annotated)
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

At first, it seems like just plucking open strings is a no brainer, as it’s the easiest thing you can do on the guitar… However, as you can probably tell, they’re not the most exciting chords in the world.
It’s far better to learn fretted chords as there’s loads more versatility with these. But most important, they sound SO much better.

Experimenting with different tunings often comes once you have a little more experience with the instrument. This is definitely not something a beginner guitarist needs to get involved in! It’s best to keep things nice and simple when you’re learning. 🙂

Don’t worry, when you’re first learning guitar, it’s not essential that you learn EVERY single note on the guitar. It’s really not. So don’t
