Got 6 Strings?

Posted by admin on 29 June 2008

The other day I shared some basics on the physical components of your guitar.

In today’s lesson we’re going to talk about strings — all 6 of ‘em!

A normal guitar has six strings which are all different sizes and represent different notes.

The bottom string is usually the skinniest and has the highest sound. It is an E note and is also known as the first string.

The second string is a little thicker than the first string and is the B note.

The third string is B, the fourth string is D, the fifth string is A, and the final, sixth string is an E, just like the first string. This sixth string is the thickest string of the set, has the lowest sound, and is the one that is closest to you.

In fact, if your guitar is tuned correctly, the first string and the sixth string should give you the same note but in different pitches.

For some people, it’s a bit difficult to memorize the notes, so I recommend doing something like this:

Eat
All
Day
Get
Big
Easy

That way it’s simple to remember E,A,D,G,B,E:)
