Steve Rieck: Okay to finish all off, I am going to work our way up all of the notes of the first string. So we can really see all of the chromatics and the sharps and flats as well.
So this string of course is open E, first string open. This note is exactly the same as the fifth fret on the second string, same E. And so this E would be above one half step the first fret to F. The G is at the third fret because F to G is a whole step. Now let's back up a fret and think about the second fret. So the second fret is a note between an F and G which means its F sharp but it's also G flat. So this second fret note, you can refer to as an F sharp or G flat. And again which one you call it depends on what key you are playing and so to really understand it you have to understand scales and keys which we can find in other tutorials.
So the third fret is G to A up at the fifth fret which makes the fourth fret G sharp for A flat, G sharp or A flat. A to B is a whole step, B is at the seventh fret, so the sixth fret is A sharp or B flat, A sharp or B flat. B to C is a half step, so no B sharp or C flat, so B to C is a half step. C to D is a whole step; D is at the twelfth fret which means that C is here, D is here so the ninth fret is going to be C sharp or D flat. And then D to E of course is a whole step, E is at the twelfth fret, the eleventh fret would be D sharp or E flat.
So again slowly, E at the open, F is the first fret, F sharp or G flat, the second fret. G at the third fret, G sharp or A flat at the fourth fret, A at the fifth fret. A sharp or B flat at the sixth fret, B at the seventh fret. C at the eighth fret, C sharp or D flat at the ninth fret, D at the tenth fret. D sharp or E flat at the eleventh fret, and finally E at the twelfth fret of the first string.
