Look at what notes make up the guitar chords you already know.ĭoing all of the above will build a solid foundation for your guitar playing.Look up what keys have what notes, and create scales using the blank fretboard on this page. The key of D has all the of the F’s and C’s sharp, so avoid F and C natural) (for example the key of C, there are no sharps or flats. Memorize where all the notes are in a given key.Master the finger patterns for playing octaves.Learn every spot you can play a given note (For example, all of the G notes.).Some good practice exercises to do that will help you learn the notes quickly are: It’s also useful to write out guitar scales and chords as a reference. Here is a blank fretboard that you can print out and use to fill in as practice. The notes on the B string are C – C# – D – D# – E – F – F# – G – G# – A – A# – B, as shown in this diagram: The notes on the G string are G# – A – A# – B – C – C# – D – D# – E – F – F# – G, as shown in this diagram: The notes on the D string are D# – E – F – F# – G – G# – A – A# – B – C – C# – D, as shown in this diagram: The notes on the A string are A# – B – C – C# – D – D# – E – F – F# – G – G# – A, as shown in this diagram: They are: F – F# – G – G# – A – A# – B – C – C# – D – D# – E, as shown in this diagram: The notes on the low E string (the thickest string) and the high E string (the thinnest string) are the same.

The 13th fret will have the same notes as the first fret. The notes at the 12th fret are the same as the open strings. These charts stop at the 12th fret because that is where the notes start over and begin repeating. B to C and E to F have no sharp/flat in between. ![]() There are exceptions to this rule though. This is due to simplification, but just know that a sharp (shown as #) is one half step above a natural note and a flat is one half step below. You’ll notice there are no flat notes on these charts. The 3rd fret on the e string (G) and the 6th fret on the D string are octaves. Octaves are the same note but at higher or lower tones. The next one that jumps out to me is the octaves. The most obvious one is that the notes on the 1st string and 6th string are the same. Take a look at the notes and see if you can pick out any patterns that you see. For this reason, I break it up by string further down on the page. As you can see, it looks a little overwhelming. Here is a complete shot of all of the notes on the fretboard. E is the first note and A is the 4th note. For example, if you follow along the musical alphabet you see E -> F -> G -> A.
