Chapter 1 - The Basics

guitar lesson 2
STRING NAMES

In the diagram below, there is an illustration of a guitar fretboard. All through this book there are similar such diagrams. This is one of the only diagrams that has the names of the strings included in it, so memorize the string names now. In all the diagrams, the big "E" string is at the bottom of the fretboard diagram, the little "E" string is at the top.

The horizontal lines are the guitar strings.

The vertical lines are the guitar frets.

As you go through this book, notice that there are no fret markers or fret dots on most of the diagrams. This is because the diagrams are just a section of an imaginary, infinite length, fretboard.
