    Question Notes

    for beginning guitarists along with the rest of us.
    most know by now that the
    open strings are (from lowest to highest) E A D
    G B E. BUT can everyone go to any note on any string without thinking too much?
    what I'd like to encourage is on every string find the six notes above.they are whole notes a full step apart.the half steps or one fret is about flats and sharps(b +#) within the notes shown.I promise once everyone can ''go to'' the notes above with little or no thought(on every string),
    your playing abilities move into another level making it much easier to play nearly anything.
    this is something I do now and then as a refresher of sorts.when doing it whole and/or half steps.ideas that come up like music itself are almost endless along with being a great mental and physical finger exercise.may I invite beginners and advanced players alike to take this challenge with me.
    none of us will be sorry for doing it.this is but a small but crucial undertaking of fretboard logic.while geared toward beginners,every one of us fretters will benefit from it.
    tip: I start with an open A then move on.

    P.S. as an aside a ''note'' should be made it is a half step to the C note from B in many if not most cases but the idea is the same.
    get them all down on all six strings.
    just realized this a moment ago while doing it.hence the edit.

    Life is like a camera, just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot. ~ Anonymous
