And by the way, you said about learning the notes on the fret board, well i have a sheet that tells me every note on the fret board and has steps to learning the whole lot. How do i do it if i just know the notes for the low or high E? and by the way, when they say low E, they do mean low as in pitch, not as in hight right? Just cheaking to see if i had made a terrible mistake, thanx everyone

MART

Glad to help
Once you know the notes on the low E Big String ect,
you know the (Chromatic Scale)Plus the Notes on the Little,
String high E are the same as the Low E .........

Try to memorize the chromatic scale.
Now if we move to the fifth string which is the A String,
then depress the A String in the first fret this makes it,
a A# note plus a b-flat note .sound confusing?
if you have your chromatic scale memorized you would know ,
what note comes next as we move down the board to the,
second fret useing closed notes. It would be a B Note.
This same thing works on the D String plus the G String,
but now the B String closed at the first fret is a C note,
because theres no B# in music, the next string will be,
the High E When closed its a F note ect.
My minds alittle foggy today been working on computers,
all day but you might check my web page out i think i have,
a voice file on there some where explaining the chromatic,
scale.............www.geocities.com/guitar39
