Executive Summary about Guitar Notes by Ricky Sharples

Knowing how to read guitar notes is the basic need for anyone wanting to play songs on the guitar. The top lines are the treble or high notes, the bottom lines are the home for the bass notes. If you want to learn how to read guitar notes the three things you will need are a few minutes every day, a diagram showing the notes on the guitar fretboard and a basic music theory primer.

The simplest way to start making sense of the guitar notes is to learn the names of the notes of the open guitar strings. The note can also be called G flat or Gb, because it is the note below G as well as being the note above F. As you learn to play the guitar you will hear the difference in sound you can get from playing the same notes at different places on the guitar.

Learning where the guitar notes are on the fretboard will best be done while you are holding the guitar and playing the guitar notes you can see on your fretboard chart. Learning which notes are which on the sheet music is a different kind of learning.
