i need to no the note names on the fretboard. if ne one knows the notes could you please type out a diagram or give me a web link to where i can find them...thanks

www.wholenote.com

You will find all kinds of usefull stuff.

edit: Oh, and seriously you gotta get the difference between "no" and "know" down. I know this is the internet and shit, but godamn man, at least try to speak english. Rock on.

haha, no way in hell i'd make a diagram of a guitar board out, just type it in ANY search engine.

lol the first no should be "know" the seconds fine.

Figure it out yourself--- First you gotta know the open string notes E,A,D,G,B,e (for standard tuning). Then you go up each string saying each note. Its 2 frets between each note except between B and C and E and F
where its one fret between them.

First string would be like this.

0--1--3--5--7--8--10--12
E--F--G--A--B--C--D---E

Figure out the rest of the strings by yourself.
Its good to learn it like this so it will stick in your head.

i dont know i thought maby different scales or sumthin i have no idea. im kind of a newb with this stuff ive been palying for a while but ive never got into notes and theory or any of that other stuff.

Here's another great site that will help you understand everything from basics to advanced theory. Great for beginners and experts alike. Enjoy.

cool...thanks everyone, ill check out those websites anubisxy

Theory and crapp should never be used in the same sentence. It is pretty much crucial in knowing where and what to play when improvising and making up songs.

i didnt mean it like i think you thought i did shred but i edited it so crap is now stuff.

Very true. Each fret on a guitar will play a different tone and, in theory each fret will be one semitone higher than the previous fret. 12 semitones before you reach an octave interval, hence why the twelth freth is the same note as an open string. Learning some basic theory will make you a much better player, much faster because you can figure out a lot of stuff on your own. Even some rudimentery knowledge will make learning to play better a lot easier.

BTW, I am not trying to sound like a prick and say "fuck off, learn some theory", just suggesting that theory will help accelerate your learning.

i ahve jsut one more question about notes. if i had a part of a riff that goes like this

D:
A:2 2
D: 3 3 3
G: 4 4

would you play the same frets on the bass or would it b different frets and notes??

the tabs not supposed to be like that but i cant get it to look how i want it to every time i fix it it goes back to looking that way. but i think u get the poin any ways.

Not really, we just learn tablature here

You can improvise and make up songs without theory, as long as it sounds good.

If you never learned how to read music, this site will teach you.

When tuned standard, the strings of the guitar are EADGBe and bass are EADG... the rest of the answer would be quite obvius...

that is a joke isn't it? what u tell ure bass player if u play a song in A?

guitarist:well dude.. i donno what this fuckin note is but..... its the .... lemme think 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5th fret!!! well its on the thickest string i have here... donno what it's called.

bass player: fuck off where else u play this note?

guitarist : STFU!!11 i donno man i just learned TABS FUCK U!!!!


now the bass player has to tell u the notes
pretty weird i think

It's not that obvious actually. Considering there is a pattern for naturals, and the enharmonics are either flat or sharp depending on acending or descending.

E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# E
B C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
G G# A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G
D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D
A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G# A
E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# E

or...

E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C Db D Eb E
B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb B
G Ab A Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G
D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C Db D
A Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A
E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C Db D Eb E

The patterns obviously repeat after the 12th fret, enjoy.

i know the notes and all taht now but im still confused on how the bass plsys with the guitar...? if i play the 2nd fret on the A string (which would b a B note) does the bass plsyer also play the 2nd fret on the A string or does he play a B note on another spot on the fretboard??????

you could do either...
try them out and see which one you like.
theres only 3 b notes on a standard 4 string bass any way

G: 4, 16
D:
A: 2
E:

all the rest are the same pitch as one of those 3

you could be really daring and get them to play a D or an F# or...... anything

__________________

I don't realy understand what your asking, but if a guitar plays a B by fretting the 2nd fret on the A string, the bassplayer could also fret a B at the A string 2nd fret, or on 7th fret on the E string, or the 9th fret on the D string etc.
It doesn't realy matter, because its all a B, en though their on a different octave, it wont sound wrong or disharmonic. Heck, you can even play a bass solo in B. Just remeber that it sounds boring if the bassplayer just plays the same thing as the rythm guitarist on one string.

Yeah, this is where theory comes into play. Go back and read those sites I gave to you, they will explain it better than this forum if you actually do the excercises.

you talk funny
but... you don't need to know jack shit about theory in order to play, knowing frets is just fine i guess if you're patient and tonedef....
but if you know theory, everything becomes a million times easier, because you'll already know alot of what notes can or will sound good together before you even pick up a guitar... otherwise you'll turn into one of those punk rocker kids that just moves his powerchord up and down the neck not even taking scales and intervals into consideration.
even just knowing the names of the notes for most of the frets helps. but other things like scales, intervals, rhythm.

Your is possessive, pet peeve. This is starting to get off-topic.

But when you solo, you wouldn't know what key you're in so it will sound like shit. A guitarist who knows theory will always be better than one who doesn't. Overall, its just good to know theory.
