Learn Guitar Notes

As we learn guitar notes, I Love Guitar suggests we treat the open strings as fence posts. Once we know the framework (the posts) we can fill in the gaps (the lattice) with fretted tones.

Let's look at the notes you know so far in a couple of pictures. First, the never forget reminder...

Next, a MAP we will visit again and again...A Map for Reading in First Position:

Try saying each string name [and information about the note], while you play the tone. For example: as you pick the LOW E string, say 'this is string E, the lowest string, it is written as a note head in the minus four space, the space beneath the 3rd ledger line beneath the staff'. See the notehead location in your mind.
