omg why do you ppl say its hard when its so easy,its just repeating A,B,C,D,E,F,G!!
so the open E string is E than goes F and so on...

@FreepowerUG Ok thank you alot :D

@k0rn56 Absolutely, it just takes time and practice. To be honest I'd just wait a while and get the hang of this before moving on much further. :)

Just to expand further on this: The word "between" is confusing in NEAWD's explanation. Instead of the word between it should read "In moving between" or even better in moving from or moving to. For example: There are NO semitones BETWEEN B and C on the fretboard they are directly next to each other, there is however a one semitone Difference when moving from B to C. Sorry to nitpick, but it confused me for a minute when I was reading it. Either way TY Freepower for the good helpful video.

Yes, that's how it goes. Each fret is one semitone/half-step. There is only one semitone/half-step between the notes B and C. The same applies to the notes E and F as well. This is confusing for someone starting out. For instance between the notes F and G their is two semitones/half-steps- so the first fret of the low E string is the F note the third fret is the G note. The 7th fret is the B note and the 8th fret is the C note and the 10th fret would be the D note. This repeats all over the boar
Erm I'm sorry I'm a theory idiot here and your diagram is confusing me. Are the notes the same for all the strings? Like Fret 1 of the low E is the "F" key and Fret 1 of the A string is also a "F" key?

@ThisIsUrName The diagram is just for the low E, the A string starts on the note A, then the first fret would be Bb/A#, then the second would be B, then the 3rd would be C, just like frets 5-6-7-8 on the low E. :)
If in doubt, just get comfortable with the low E first. :)

@FreepowerUG Oh my, that's so confusing. Can u simplify it for a music idiot like me, please? :(

@ThisIsUrName Well, that diagram is just the low E - if you learn that you'll be in good shape for the rest of the strings, just get comfortable with it first. :)

Did you mess up? I noticed you doing have a Bsharp/Cminor note. Is that how it goes? I'm confused here.
