In this lesson we will learn how to find particular note on 
guitar neck. It is hard lesson - you should read this 
info many times. You have to understand this before 
downloading next part of school!

Ex. 1 - Look at this. This example shows to us that we 
can play the same melody on different strings. Why? 

Ex. 2 - You have to remember this: !!!We can find the 
same note on for example [7th fret of three first strings 
and 2nd fret of higher string] and [6th fret of three first 
strings and 1st fret of higher string]!!!. Look at the 
example.

Ex. 3 - Look at this - do you now understand why we 
can play the same melody on different strings? No? 
Look at this, then look at previous example. And now? 
No? Then look at both exercises again. Keep looking 
at them until you'll understand what am I talking about.

Ex. 4 - To find the same note on fourth and fifth string
we have to use different method - look at the example.

Ex. 5 - To find the same note on fifth and sixth string we 
have to use a method that we were using when we 
were looking for the same note on first four strings.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are six strings on guitar. Starting with the 
thickest string their names are: E, A, D, G, B, E. Now 
let's learn the notes. Here is a map of the fretboard with 
the notes labeled:

E||-F-|----|-G-|----|-A-|----|-B-|-C-|----|-D-|----|-E-|-F-|----|-G-|
B||-C-|----|-D-|----|-E-|-F-|----|-G-|----|-A-|----|-B-|-C-|----|-D-|
G||----|-A--|---|-B-|-C-|----|-D-|----|-E-|-F-|----|-G-|----|-A-|----|
D||----|-E-|-F-|----|-G-|----|-A-|----|-B-|-C-|----|-D-|----|-E-|-F-|
A||----|-B-|-C-|----|-D-|----|-E-|-F-|----|-G-|----|-A-|----|-B-|-C-|
E||-F-|----|-G-|----|-A-|----|-B--|-C-|----|-D-|----|-E-|-F-|----|-G-|
O           III       V      VII      IX            XII          XV 

O - means open string. For example, when we are 
playing open A string we are playing A note and so on...

The labeled notes in the above diagram are known as 
a Natural Notes. Unlabeled notes are known as sharps 
(marked by "#" in music) and as flats (marked by "b"). 
For example, the note on the D string between F and G 
 is known as either sharp F (F sharp - F#) and as flat G 
(G flat - Gb). "A sharp indicates the Natural notes pitch 
is raised a semi-tone, a flat note is the natural pitch 
lowered a semi-tone." When you see sharp near any 
note you have to put your finger one fret FURTHER 
than fret on which you can find that note and when you 
see flat near any note you have to put your finger one 
fret closer than fret on which you can find that note. 
"Notice that there is no B# (aka Cb) nor is there an E# 
(or Fb). This is a universal rule in music."

As you see we have 12 notes in the music: C, C#, D, 
D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B.

You noticed for sure that there are many places on 
guitar neck to play for example A note. Some of them 
are exactly the same pich - others sound different. They 
are still A notes but played on different pitch. We will 
learn more about it later. If you understand this lesson - 
download next one. In other case spend more time with 
it. Remember that you have to know where 
you can find particular notes on the fretboard. I 
know that this lesson is boring but understanding this 
stuff is necessary if you want to make music. See you in 
next part :)
