EGS Lesson Six Developing our understanding of the fingerboard — 6th and 5th string geography
To play rock guitar well, it helps the guitarist to know the notes on the fingerboard. The process of learning all the notes on the guitar is called fingerboard knowledge.
It is however essential that you have a thorough understanding of the notes on the fifth and sixth strings, firstly, before taking on the whole neck.
Understanding the notes on the bottom two strings is not only essential for rhythm guitar and chord playing, but also for lead guitar solo playing – which we will study in depth in Part 3 of the course.
In this lesson we are going to focus on the remaining notes on the bottom two guitar strings.
