This looks silly, do you hold a string or spaces between the strings on a guitar! what is a fret?

Answer 1

A fret is the horozontal bar on the neck of the guitair it is usally gold and it sticks up. You hold down the strings and the further down the neck you go the higher the pitch gets.

Answer 2

I hope this is easy enough to understand: you push down on the string and the frets are the metal deals going into the neck. when you push down a string into a fret it shortens up the string length making the sound higher and each of the frets makes it go a half of a step higher.

Answer 3

You press down on the string itself, which makes the string effectively shorter and changes the pitch of the vibration. A fret is one of those horizontal lines across the neck of the guitar.

Answer 4

You hold the string because holding it down in a certain place has the effect of shortening the string, creating a different sound.
Frets are the divisions along the neck of the guitar.
