Note Basics:   Naming the Notes
There are only 12 notes on the guitar. These 12 notes are repeated in higher pitched octaves.
7 of the notes are named simply as A through G.
These notes are displayed in the picture above.
Tip: There is not a note between B and C or a note between E and F. To help remember these exceptions, use the reminder "Boulder Colorado" and "Eagles Fly"

  Although each person is different and can learn at their own pace, you should be able to cover all the material in a few weeks. Then, it is up to you to practice and apply what you have learned.
