Ok so my guitar teacher told me a technique for guitar but i dont understand it, how do you find a note!?!?!??

Question

How do you find a note he said some way to find ti but i dont know how to
he said something like OK now using what i just said how do you find F on the low E string i didnt know how so i was wondering anyone who knew guitar would know

Answer 1

You find "F" on the low E string by putting your first finger down just before the first fret of the sixth string, (the fattest one - closest to you) pressing down, and hitting the string with a plectrum (pick) or your finger!

You find F# on the low E string by putting your second finger down, just before the second fret of the sixth string, (Same one) pressing down, and hitting the string with a plectrum (pick) or your finger.

You find the note by learning the open strings

E / A / D / G / B / E (Eat at Doc's Grill Before Easter)

and following the alphabet up

First string:

E / F / F# / G / G# / A (First Five Frets)

Second String:

B / C / C# / D / D# / E

Third String:

G / G# / A / A# / B / C

Fourth String:

D / D# / E / F / F# / G

Fifth String:

A / A# / B / C / C# / D

6th String:

E / F / F# / G / G# / A

Hope this helps. Let me know when you need more!

Answer 2

The notes go from A to G. There are sharps/flats in between every note except from b>c and e>f. So the notes in order are thus
A > A# (or Bb) > B > C > C# or (Db) > D > D# (or Eb) > E > F >F# (or Gb) > G > G# (or Ab) > A.

This is the cycle from A back to A. Notice that a lot of the sharp notes are the same note as a flat (this will either eliminate some confusion or compound upon it, it depends on how you look at it) So if you follow the above formula you can find any note on the guitar (assuming you know the order of the strings: E A D G B E)
So to find an F on the low E you would count one fret for each arrow ( > ) in the above chart starting on the letter of the string you are on. Thus an F is the first fret on the low E string.

Answer 3

All you have to know is the open string and go from there. The first open string is E, the first note pressed down in the first fret is F, then Fsharp, then G, then G sharp, or A flat, because the next note is A and if you go back you flat the note.
This continues, the next string open is the B, the first note held in the first fret is C, the next C sharp, the next is D, etc. If you know the name of the open string all you have to do now is know the alphabet. This seemed to be the only way my students understood this, I hope that this helped you. If not check this site out.

Answer 4

Yeah. Each fret is a semitone (half tone) so U need to know which notes have sharps and which don't.
Onthe E string, it goes (open string)E (ist fret ) F, Then F#, G, G#, A , A#(Bb) B, C, C#(Db) D, D#(Eb) E.(12th fret) Each string works in the same way, counting up the frets.The strings are tuned, from the lowest, E A D G B E. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

each fret goes up half a step, so the first fret is e flat and the second is f etc.
