Guitar Lessons (Basics)

Before learning “notes or pitches” of the guitar, you should remember few certain things always and they are as follows----------

• Don’t forget there are only 12 notes 

• And they are C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B 

• Except E-F & B-C all other notes have a sharp/flat note. 

• These notes repeat like the twelve (12) months of the year and they are named from low to high. 

• A “musical year” is called an OCTAVE. 

• Our ears have a range of many octaves. An ‘acoustic’ guitar has range of 4 ½ and an ‘electric’ guitar has range of almost 5.

• 12 notes and their octaves altogether are called ‘Chromatic Scale’. The space in pitch between any two adjacent notes is called a ‘semitone’.
