FRETTED NOTES

Let’s try playing a fretted note. The first fretted note you are going to play is A. A is played on the 2nd fret of the G (3rd) string. You should try to use the same number finger of the left hand as the fret written. Remember to push down just behind the required fret, not on top of it.

What Goes Up Must Come Down

When you play higher frets (when your left hand moves nearer to your body) you are moving UP the guitar neck and when you are playing lower frets you are moving DOWN the guitar neck. This often causes confusion with beginners because it is the opposite of what seems logical.

Now try playing the following tune which is made up of a mixture of open strings and your new fretted A note. Watch out for the whole note in the last bar and make sure you let it ‘ring’ for four beats.
