See if you can get your name on the scoreboard. It’s super simple, and pretty fun as well. We built this game so guitar players can practice visualizing where each of the fretboard notes are. Make sure to play around with the Scale Finder to get the most out of it. Choose “Display Notes.”īy doing this, the Scale Finder will show all of the note of the scale you’ve highlighted. Once you open it up, make sure you go to the bottom left and then click “Display Scale Steps.” This will give you two options. You can find the Scale Finder in the Tool Box here. If you know that information, you’ll also know that if you move to the 4th fret of the 5th string, that note is C#, and then if you move to the 5th fret of the same string, that note is D. Now, if you play this major scale using the Scale Finder, you’ll know that The C root note is located on the 3rd fret of the 5th string (A string). Scales like the major scale begin with the root note and then are followed by the next 7 notes, usually moving from a low to high pitch.įor example, the C major scale is usually referred to in an increasing pitch like this:

So how does it work? The Scale Finder is full of different scales, which are sortable by root note and patterns. The tool was made to help guitar players memorize scales and that means it will no doubt help with memorizing specific notes. The Guitar Tricks Scale Finder is a great tool for finding specific notes on a fretboard if you need a visual aid. If you have trouble with finding octaves, watch this lesson and Mike will explain it to you in further detail. You can always find identical notes by seeking out octaves that are higher or lower if you follow this rule.

In order to find octaves starting on the D or G string, you follow the same rule but instead of moving up two frets, you move up three frets. This is how you find higher octaves for notes on the 6th and 5th string.

More specifically, if you want to the find the higher octave, simply jump up two strings, and then move up two frets. Notice that they’re directly diagonal from one another. In the image above, the note on the 1st fret of the 6th string (low E string) is an F note, while the second note is also an F note. It’s best to learn this technique with a visual aid. Octaves are also spotted fairly easily, too. In a sense, if you find a note's octave, it's the same note, but in another part of the fretboard. If you play an open E with the 6th string, and then play it again on the 12th fret of the same string, that’s also an E, but it will be an octave higher. If you can find one note on a guitar string by simply following the rules of whole steps and half steps, you should be able to pick out all the notes on the string. If you find the F key on a piano, it’s an F, and then the black key immediately to the right of it is an F#, and then the white key after that is a G. The 2nd fret of the 6th string is an F#, the 3rd fret of the 6th string is a G, and so on. The 6th string (low E string) played open is an E. It’s a little easier to understand this if you lay the guitar down in front of you horizontally, with the frets up and facing the ceiling. You can think of each string on the guitar like the keys of a piano. Every single string on a guitar has these notes, and if you can find one of these notes on guitar string, you’ll be able to find a few other notes as well. In a sense, these are also all the notes you can have on a standard 6-string guitar. For the purpose of this example, we will only use sharps and no flats.Ĭ - C# - D - D# - E - F - F# - G - G# - A - A# - B Luckily, there are a number of tools to help with this.įirst off, it’s very important to know that there are only 12 musical notes in Western Music. The fretboard notes of a guitar is not labeled so when a guitarist begins to learn, they simply will have to memorize where each note is through practice. Musicians press the string down on different parts of the fretboard to play notes and chords. A guitar fretboard, or fingerboard of a guitar is the part of the neck where all the metal frets are placed.
