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.
