Finding Notes on Guitar

Yo, what's up everyone who are very here with us every single day. You may ask guys—answer. Don’t forget to subscribe and comment. We got a question here from emergency fuel saver from the other video that I said you guys ask the question and I’ll answer. And he said, “Walt, I need to know how to find the notes on the guitar.” Okay, so big ups to him and big ups to everyone—I want to get to all of your questions, answers, all that stuff. Okay, so let us just get right in to this. No, no after six strings on the guitar E, A, D, G, B, E and way to the works is that—you know, that’s the way they're all tuned and the strings go this way but that—actually guitar itself starts here—well, you can say starts here and it ends here, okay. The length of the string becomes shorter as you push down on the fret changing the note. So when I play this right here. [Demonstration] The length of the string is only from here and here and making it higher on pitch. Make sure the string the higher the pitch. Now, we know that your strings as I said E, A, D, G, B, E so think that a step further I can go here's E. [Demonstration] The open string E and this is F. [Demonstration] Right here and this is F sharp. [Demonstration] G. [Demonstration] G sharp. [Demonstration] A. [Demonstration] And that’s it, it falls out entire musical scale that way. But now there's only seven notes in music A, B, C, E, F and G and to think that any step further that everyone of these notes has a sharp and flat between it accept for B to C and E, F. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Let me get my keyboard here, okay because they are breaking thing. All right, so let me show you guys what I'm talking about. Here's my monster keyboard, okay. It looks like from like the 80’s like the hip-hop when they like walk around with their, you know, you think. Okay, so now check out, so we have three black keys, two black keys, three black keys, two black keys. Okay? Those are all sharps and flats. It’s been underneath my—like my studio. Okay, so now if here's the note C right here, so the note to the left of the two black keys were always be C so you have C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C and then it repeats. So C, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C and then it just continues. So there are C, this is C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G. All then F sharp accept for E, D, F and accept for B to C, so you're pressuring yourself hasn’t show me the notes on the guitar. Well, check this out. Now, when I'm going to play my third fret of the low E string it’s the G. [Demonstration] To go up another half step is the G sharp. This is the equivalent of the black note here on the keyboard, okay. Then this is A, G, A, G sharp. Right here is that. [Demonstration] So the trick of finding notes on the guitar is really simple. Cover with hip points on trying to know where a certain notes are on the instrument. So if I play this fifth fret of the low E, I know this is an A, okay because look E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A. But now if I were to play the tenth fret of the high B when though with that be, well it’s really simple. There's seven notes in music but they all sharps and flats between accept from B to C and E and F. So in all there's 12 notes and so the notes repeat again, okay. Let me show you what I'm talking about here. So here we have 12 notes and then I repeats C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, E sharp, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, A sharp, B, C and it repeats again. So when I play my open strings— [Demonstration] Okay, of the guitar and then I play this strings again at the twelfth fret it’s all the same notes just an octave higher. So, what I'm getting at is that when I'm played my open string B, okay over here. [Demonstration] This note is a B but so is this note. [Demonstration] And the reason why I know that is because this is my twelfth fret, okay. You can see but I can entirely there on my fret board. It’s my twelfth fret. So I going to find what the tenth fret of my D is you just go down from the hip point. So I know this is B like I know that like my open strings are E, A, D, G, B, E and I also know that my strings here are E, A, D, G, B, E because it’s twelve higher and then it repeats. So if I had a 24th fret which I don’t but if did that will also be E, A, D, G, B, E because it’s twelfth frets, zero, twelve, twenty four. Okay, so the way that I would do it is say this is B so going down one is B flat or A sharp however you want to say it. Going down another one is A. [Demonstration] So the tenth fret of the B is actually the note A. But these are two different octaves. [Demonstration] I know you guys are confused but the octave thing don’t sweat it. For now to think this is a step further it just hold with certain hip points within the guitar. So I know that my strings are E, A, D, G, B, E so I know that 12th fret is also E, A, D, G, B, E and I could higher. And then I know that I would commonly recommend to learning what the fifth fret of the A string is or what the notes on the fifth fret are. So guys if you have A here at D, here we have G—I'm sorry, I'm pointing weird. All right, G this is C, okay. E and this is A, okay. So if you're playing this note then I might memorize like the eighth fret for something. [Demonstration] So at that point you're not memorizing every note on the instrument you only memorizing the hit points within the instrument and so any note that your out, let say this one right here why you say well that’s a third fret of the high E. Well, I go E, F, F sharp, G, it’s the G. If I say what's the fourth fret of the D string, well I know that my fifth fret of the D string is actually the note G because remember I said memorize the fifth fret. And so I know this is the D flat or a C sharp. Same thing if I where to be on the sixth fret on the D. I know this is G sharp. And so that’s all, these are octaves because both these strings are E, the B, C and the high E. So I know that angle notes that here is going to be repeated here, okay, this are octave. [Demonstration] Okay, so there you guys have it of understand the notes on the guitar at the end of the day just really take your time learn it, be patient and try to learn through other people and when you playing them in chord try and understand that when your playing a chord like something like this. [Demonstration] Try to learn what the notes are that you're playing. Here's I know, this is a D sharp because theirs is my D. This is know that this is a B flat because I'm playing of the octave there like B flat, okay. This is I know is the C I'm playing all the octave here and this the right here my fourth finger or my third finger is actually playing the note F sharp so you have this. [Demonstration] Okay, so that’s all guys and it helps then take a piece of paper and write all the notes down and that’s all. So stay well, I'll talk to you all soon and any question that you have I'm going to do this everyday, I hope you guys out because that’s how I role and that’s how the people help me and I just want to pay for you. So I'll talk to you again tomorrow, any questions you got throw in the check one below and see you all. Peace, love and harmony.
