So here we're going to just practice mapping out where the notes on the stave would fall on our fretboard. And the best place to start with that is just by first finding where the open string would be notated on the stage. So we're going to do that for each individual string. And I'm going to start by putting the treble clef down with the eight below symbol. And as you know, this means that we need to transpose everything so that it sounds an octave lower. And just so you know, not all guitar music will have this eight underneath the treble clef.
Whether it has it or not, you should know that we generally as guitar players want to just transpose everything down by an octave anyway, but technically it's correct to put the eight below the treble clef. So we want to start with the open E string. And the lowest note on the stay for us is the Note II below the third line of the stave. It's a little bit cramped there. So that's where our low E string is located. Now once we found that open string, it's really easy because the next note in the chromatic scale on the stave is going to give us the next fret on our guitar.
So the mode F is the next note in the chromatic scale. And that's going to allow on the first fret of our fretboard to draw the note F sharp, we're just going to put a note with the sharp sign in front of it. Now that's the note F sharp and F sharp is the same as G flat. So we're going to put G flat there and know that these are in harmonic equivalence. So these will both be on the same fret. So this would be the open string.
This would be the first Fred and these two together would be on the second fret. g would be the next note that would be on the third fret in the next note is G sharp which is the same as a flat and these can be found on the fourth fret. Then of course on the fifth fret we have a and this A is the same a that you would have by playing the open A string. So we could carry on up along the E string and just keep filling in notes. That would be a sharp or B flat. And that would be found on these notes or in harmonic equivalents and it'd be found on the sixth fret.
And we could keep going the next one would be be on the seventh fret, etc. But what we're going to do is go down to the next string below So the, the open A string is the is the node A on the second ledger line below the stave. The next chromatic note along from that would be a sharp, also known as B flat. This would be the open string, these would be the first fret, then we have B after that, that's the second fret. C would be this is now middle C, and this is where we're playing middle C as guitar players on the third fret of the A string. On the fourth fret, we have C sharp, also known as D flat.
And on the fifth fret, as you know would be D and this D would be the same as the open D string. So in the same way that we could carry on along the E string, we could carry on along the along the A string. So the next note would be D sharp or E flat on the sixth fret. And that would be the same as this D sharp or E flat. That can be found on the first fret of the of the D string, but we're going to carry on down to the D string. So once again, I'm going to draw the treble clef with the octave below symbol.
This is the open string. And we have D sharp on the first fret also known as E flat. That's Fred one. On the second fret, we have he And as I'm sure you know this he is an octave higher than the he found on our open low E string on the third fret is the mode F, F sharp, otherwise known as G flat on the fourth fret, and on the fifth fret would be G. Now, of course, this G on the fifth fret of the D string would be the same as your open G string, but we're going to carry on with the open G string. So we've got g as the open string. I'm just gonna write the fret numbers underneath now.
So that's the open string, G sharp. And if a flat will be found on the first fret A is on the second fret, a sharp or B flat is on the third fret. And B is on the fourth fret of the G string. And this B note on the fourth fret of your G string is the same as your open D string. So we're going to move to the open B string, which is on the third line of the treble clef. And then we've got C on the third space, that's your first fret and we have C sharp and D flat.
That's on your second fret in the low D, which is on the third fret and D sharp or E flat on the fourth fret. next note would be the note E and that would be found on your on the fifth fret of your B string. And that is the same as your open high E string. So last but not least, let's map out the notes along the high E string. We're going to start with treble clef the octave below. And that is the note on the fourth fourth space of the stave that you open string.
And if it's on the first fret, F sharp, G flat is on the second fret. We have G on the third fret, G sharp or a flat on the fourth fret and then on the fifth fret would be the node A. And that's the first ledger line above the above the stave note on the sixth fret would be the note a sharp or B flat. Then the note on the seventh fret would be B. Notes on the eighth fret would be on the secondary line above the stage. That's the night see.
Then we've got C sharp D flat and that's on the ninth fret. D is on the 10th fret, D sharp or E flat. He's on the 11th fret. He is on the 12th fret of your high E string. And the last note that we've got on the stage is the note F, which is on the 13th fret of your E string. So now we've mapped out all the notes on the stage on every string and freight of our guitar.
