The Notes on the Guitar

A reference to every note on the guitar's fretboard in standard tuning up to the 12th fret.

Starting at the 12th fret the notes repeat themselves, so the 13th fret would be the same as the 1st fret. Use this map to learn where the notes on the guitar are located and where they repeat. The space between notes are the sharp and flat notes. Example: Between a C and a D note refers to C# or Db.

Notice the octave patterns (where each note is repeated on the fretboard) in the diagram to help you remember where the notes are on each string.
