Five Tips on Learning Guitar Notes

September 11th, 2012 To find your way around the fretboard of the guitar is very important. It will help you in guitar improvisation, sight reading, and in understanding chords and more. In this guitar lesson we will explore five ways to learn the notes on the guitar fretboard. How much do you need to practice?

Learn the notes A couple of minutes a day with one of these exercises will help you improve your skills in finding the notes. In this guitar lesson we will focus on the fretboard, and on learning the notes on the guitar. I will show you several exercises which will help you memorize guitar notes, but you will have to work at it on your own time as well. So, lets begin with the fretboard itself.

Guitar Notes Tip 1

Learn the basic notes, the notes of a C major scale on every string. Lets see the first string on your guitar (high E string). The first note is an E. You will find F on the first fret. G on fret three, and so on. The sixth string on the guitar is an E too. Its just two octaves lower but you will find the same note names on this string on the same frets two octaves lower.

Guitar Notes Tip 2

Learn a specific note on all strings. Lets use the note G. Where can you find the note G on string five? Right, on fret 10. The G notes on the strings from the sixth string to the first are on the following frets: 3 10 5 0 8 3 Try this with other notes too. For example E.

Guitar Notes Tip 3

Learn the names of the notes on a fret. We can start with the open strings starting from the sixth string to the first. The names will be: EADGBE Now, play the notes on the third fret in the same order. At the same time try to say the names of the notes aloud. I will help you this time only by writing the note names down: G C F Bb D G Try this exercise on different frets and say the names of the notes aloud.

Guitar Notes Tip 4

Learn the notes in a chord. Play any chord and name the notes aloud from string six to string one. This guitar exercise will also help you to understand how the chords are built.
