GUITR CHART - USE THIS ONE FOR POSTING ONTO WEBSITE

Our guitar chart is where we press down on each open note. Open notes are our strings. This is where we get a new mindset and refer to our strings to open notes, it makes it easy to to read music. We read our guitar chart from top to bottom. Each fret is a half step for example from the open note E to the first fret is a half step and the note is F same with B to C is also half a step – that’s because there are no sharps or flats between E and F as well as B to C. Still with our natural notes – F on the first fret to G on the third fret is a whole step.
