Pitches on the Guitar
Learning the Pitches on the Guitar
You are now ready to start learning the different pitches playable on the guitar.The exercises given in lessons 4-11 will teach you the different notes you can play on each string of the guitar, starting with the high E- string.
Do not write numbers in the music to tell you what fret to play a certain note on.You will not learn the notes this way.Be patient. It will take some time and practice before you
will have the notes memorized.
Place the fingers of the left hand just before the fret that is indicated. Do not place in directly on the fret.The first finger should be on the first fret, the second finger on the second
fret etc..
Practice Hints:
1. Always practice slow.
2. Try to play the correct rhythm right away.
3. Do not just play through the piece. Find the hardest measures and spend most of your time on those.

Rest Stroke
The Rest Stroke:
As a preparation to playing notes on the guitar, we need to practice the rest stroke first on the
open strings.
Place the index finger of your left hand on the high E-string and pluck it.
You will then rest your i index finger on the next string.
Now repeat the same motion with your middle finger.
Once the middle finger rests on the second string lift up the first finger again.
You can think of the rest stroke as a type of walking motion.

Exercise (4.1):
Play each string four times. When you get to the low E-string, the motion will stay
the same, even though there is no string left to rest your fingers on. Listen to the exercise
first before trying it.
Your fingers should be almost straight, and in order to keep them that way your whole hand needs to move up when the lower strings are played.
