Guitar Lessons for Beginners
This guitar lessons for beginners video will show how to name every letter note on the guitar. With fretboard diagrams and self-practice tests, we'll cover it all with a step by step approach.

String Names on Guitar
This guitar lesson for beginners will show how to name the six strings on guitar. The letter names of the open strings (from the first ‘top’ string to the sixth ‘bottom’ string) are: ‘E’- ‘B’- ‘G’- ‘D’- ‘A’- ‘E’.

Chromatic Scale Guitar Lesson
This guitar lesson for beginners will show how to use the chromatic scale notes on guitar. The chromatic scale consists of twelve notes and is essentially the ‘music alphabet’. The letters ‘A’ through ‘G’ identify the first seven notes, while the remaining five notes have an additional description of either ‘sharp’ or ‘flat’ added to a letter name.

Sharp and Flat Notes on Guitar
This guitar lesson for beginners will show how to name all the sharp and flat notes on guitar. In music, the term ‘sharp’ means a note is raised to higher pitch. For example, ‘A sharp’ will always be a higher pitch than ‘A’. The musical term ‘flat’ means the opposite. When a note is flattened, it is lowered from its original pitch.

Enharmonic Notes on Guitar
This guitar lesson for beginners video will review all enharmonic notes on guitar. Is there a difference between ‘A sharp’ and ‘B flat’? Not really. ‘A#’ and ‘Bb’ are two names for the same note. Notes such as ‘A#’/‘Bb’ and ‘D#’/‘Eb’ are enharmonic, meaning they can be referred to as either sharp or flat notes. How to determine when to call a note either sharp or flat isn’t as important as knowing which notes do not have sharps (‘B’ & ‘E’) and which notes do not have flats (‘C’ & ‘F’).

How to Name Letter Notes on Guitar
In order to communicate musical ideas, musicians rely on a system or language based on the combination of numbers, letters, and words. The more understood about this system of music theory, the easier it will be to learn music, and the first step for guitarists is to learn how to identify letter notes on the guitar.

Learn All Notes on the Fretboard
This guitar lesson will show how to name all letter notes on the fretboard. The same twelve-note pattern repeats every twelve frets on the guitar. All of the open string notes on guitar are the same letter name as those along the twelfth fret. Both the open first string and the first string/twelfth fret are ‘E’ notes, with the ‘E’ along the twelfth fret being an octave higher.

How to Use the Chromatic Scale
Knowing the chromatic scale provides the beginner guitarist with a solid foundation for many aspects of learning guitar.

Tuning: Knowing the chromatic scale is essential when using a guitar tuner. Most guitar tuners are chromatic, meaning they are capable of identifying all twelve notes. When first attempting to tune a guitar, many beginners tend not to bother to look for sharp or flat symbols next to the letter note. If the bottom ‘E’ string is loose for example, a chromatic tuner may identify the note as either ‘E flat’ or ‘D sharp’. The guitarist who knows the chromatic scale will know that ‘E flat’ or ‘D sharp’ is a lower pitch than ‘E’ and will tighten the string to raise it to its correct pitch of ‘E’.

Bass Notes: For all of the basic chords, the bass note of each chord will match the letter name of the chord. With a ‘G’ chord for example, the bass note is ‘G’ (sixth string/third fret). For a ‘C’ chord, the bass note is ‘C’ (fifth string/third fret). Knowing the correct bass note of a chord is essential in getting its proper sound.

Going Beyond the Basics
Regardless of what particular style of music one wishes to learn, the chromatic scale is must-know for every guitarist. Whether it is learning about soloing, songwriting, or improvising, the chromatic scale will continue to be the foundation when it comes to learning more about music theory.
