Before we map out the notes of the treble clef on your guitar fretboard, there's just one more really important thing we need to add. In guitar music, we see this little eight below the treble clef. This stands for octave below. And it means that we should play all the notes on the stave a whole octave lower than they would normally be played without the octave below marking. For example, without the octave below symbol, this note E on the space below the third ledger line below the stave, would normally be played on the second fret of your D string like this. However, because we want this e to sound an octave lower, we need to play the low E open string instead.

Now let's first find out where our open strings will be found on the stave as you know your strings from top to bottom are called E, A, D, G, B and E. We've already seen that your low sounding E string can be found on the space under the third ledger line below the stave. open A string would be written on the second ledger line below this day. open D string would be written on the space directly below the state. Your open G string would be written on the second line of the state. Your open B string would be written on the third line of the stave. And last but not least, your hot sounding open E string would be written on the fourth space of the state.

So if you were to see this on the stave, E, D, G, B, E, and back down BGA e, you will notice simply play through your open guitar strings from lowest to highest And then back again like this. Next we're going to see how the other modes of the state can be played on your fretboard. As you know the lowest note on the stave e can be heard by playing your open low E string. Now as you work your way up the fretboard playing one phrase at a time, you will arrive at the next note in the chromatic scale on the stave. You'll see what I mean. Let's start from again.

At this point I could carry on to a by playing my eastings fifth fret and keep going from there. Or I could play the open string instead. You should know that these are both represented by the same a on the stave though, since pitch was, they are the same way. If you compare these two A's you can easily hear this. We're going to have to play a ball playing the open A string and then carry on at this day from there. Now once again, I could play D on my a strings fifth fret.

Or I could play my D open string, which was the same D. At this point let's move to the D open string. Again, I could carry on to God to the open G string. Let's move to the open G string. Now notice that the note on the fourth fret of the G string is the same B as the open B string. Whereas on all the other strings, the fifth fret gave us the same note as the string Beloved. Let's move on to the open B string and carry on.

We could play on the fifth fret of the B string, but we got to move to the open string, but you should know that they are the same. He Now normally we move to the next string at this point but since the high E string is our highest string, carry on up the fretboard until we reach our highest note above the stave in the next video To begin to practice notating your guitar strings on the stave, so that you can find them really quickly, as well as checking out the other notes on each string.
