BEGINNER GUITAR - LESSON 1 PARTS OF THE GUITAR 1- The headstock. 2- The tuning pegs or machine heads. 3- The nut (where the strings are supported at the top of the fingerboard). 4- The frets (the metal strips going across the fingerboard). 5- The fingerboard (the front of the neck where the fingertips press the strings). 6- The neck. 7- The body. 8- The sound hole. 9- The strings. 10- The sound board (at the front of the body). 11- The bridge (where the strings are attached near the bottom of the guitar). NAMING THE STRINGS The strings are numbered from one through to six. The first string is the thinnest one at the bottom, next is the second string, third string etc. ending with the sixth string, the thickest one, at the top. The strings are also given names from the alphabet. In music we use the first seven letters of the alphabet to name and describe notes. The notes for the strings are as follows: 1st string - E highest pitch 2nd string - B 3rd string - G 4th string - D 5th string - A 6th string - E lowest pitch The first string is referred to as high E as opposed to the sixth string, which is low E. High or low is determined by pitch not by position i.e. not by which string is closer to the ground. BEGINNER GUITAR - LESSON 1 NOTES ON THE FIRST STRING NOTES ON THE FIRST STRING Playing E, F and G.
