Learn Guitar Notes Right Now

There are 9 main notes you need to learn to really get you starting on the right track with the guitar. I use my knowledge of these notes daily in practicing guitar. After learning these music notes you it will help you with things such as, barre chords, finding root notes, and a whole lot more. If you are not familiar with some one of those things I just stated, then don’t worry about it, you don’t need to be as of now.

So I’m going to be teaching you notes on the 5th and 6th strings. Since you are going to be playing these strings a lot, especially if you play rock.

So we are going to start with the low E string. I’m going to be stating the natural notes, not sharps notes. If you’re not familiar with what a natural and flat is, I’ll explain real quickly. Basically if you think about this in terms of a piano, the naturals are the white keys on the piano, and the sharps are the black keys. Now if you think about it on the guitar, the first fret on the 6th string is the F note, and if you go up one fret, it becomes an F sharp.

So that basically explains what a natural and flat note is. Now too teach you those 9 music notes.

Music Note #1
We are going to start with the open 6th string. What I mean by open is, if you play the string without fretting it at all. So you aren’t using your left fingers at all.

Music Note #2
Go on the first fret of the 6th string, and you will be playing an F.

Music note #4
Go to the 3rd fret of the 6th string, and you’ll be playing a G

Music note #5
Go to the 5th fret of the 6th string, and you’ll be playing an A. I’d also like to tell you, that the 5th fret of the 6th string is the same note as playing the 5th string open. If you have your guitar in standard tuning that is. Which in simpler terms, that’s just normal tuning.

Music note #6
Go to the 2nd fret of the 5th string, and you’ll be playing a B.

Music note #7
Go to the 3rd fret of the 5th string, and you’ll be playing a C

Music note #8
Go to the 5th fret of the 5th string, and you’ll be playing a D. And yes, as you might of guessed, the 5th fret of the 5th string is the same as playing the 4th string open.

Music note #9
Go to the 7th fret of the 5th string and you are back to E.

That is a basic lesson of the music notes on the guitar. Like I said, now it will be way easier when you are playing barre chords, to find the specific chords and find root notes of scales and such.

Now I’d advise you to start memorizing these notes and start to get familiar with these so you can become good at what I’m talking about. After you finish learning these notes you can move on to new notes. There are so many notes on the guitar to learn, so don’t rush yourself with learning, because it takes time.

Learning music notes is only the technical part of playing guitar, there are things like technique and speed etc. Music notes and theory are the basis of your guitar playing. This is what will help you start to put your creativity to work.

I must warn you to not get too hung up on learning notes though. The main thing to keep in mind is to do what you enjoy doing. It’s fine to just play around for fun; it doesn’t all have to be serious. But when you want to start taking your playing to the next level, this is where all the technical things come in to play.

I hope this article has helped you see the power in Learning music notes. So go start practicing and have fun.
