#3. Notes on the FretBoard.

Alright, It's pretty important to know the notes on your fretboard...i.e, Place your finger on any string on any fret and you should know which note you're holding onto..

To begin with, you need to know the order of notes first..i.e,
C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B and octave 

[*NOTE - For People who don't have an idea about the term Octave, You may please contact us (Right Side of the Blog Home Page) and we'll help you with it.* ]

Since you know the name of notes represented by each open string (If not, please check out our Post No. #1 Know Your Strings) 
you should also know that every fret, like the open strings, have their own name.

Now to explain this Post, Let us provide you with an Example :
Suppose You want to know which note would it be if you place your finger on the first string of the first fret, so in order to know that particular note, follow these steps:
i) Placing your finger on any random fret might not help you, you should know on which string it lies..
for eg., 1st string would be E (High E).
ii) So now that you know your string, You need to keep the order of notes in the back of your head as this is very important.
iii) Therefore, If you'd want to know the note on the first fret of the E String (Keeping in mind the order of notes) you should know which note comes after E.
iv) The note after E is F, therefore the note on the first fret of the first is F!!

and this is how it works..!


To help you out a little bit more...We're putting this picture representing all the Notes on the fretboard...

So Yeah, That's it...We Hope this was pretty much helpful to you! :)
