BASIC OF CLASSIC GUITAR 1

Guitar has 6 strings. The highest 3-sounding strings made ​​of nylon and 3 the lowest-sounding strings are wound with metal wire. Tones produced on the instrument by picking the right hand fingertips to make the string vibrate.

Flat part of the guitar neck is divided into sections by using transverse metal rods called frets. By pressing the string with the left hand finger directly to the left of the fret we can effectively shorten the string so that only parts of it that vibrates when sound is the part between the fret and the bridge. The shorter length of vibrating string, the higher the pitch of the tones produced.

Guitar strings designated by the numbers 1 through 6. The 1^st string is the thinnest and providing the highest pitch. The 6th string is the thickest and gives the lowest pitch.

 

Tablature notation was created to make reading easier on the music on the guitar. It can be learned quickly, and you do not need to know music theory. Tablature notation shows you which string to play, it is quite important because the same note or tone can be played on several strings.

Each guitar string is represented by the line. Figures show the fret finger to pressed. 0 means open string should be played - that is, without pressing any fret. Lowest line is for the 6th string (low E), whereas the upper line is the high E string or the 1st string (thin string). This is what you see when you're playing guitar, and not when you are in front of the guitar.
