This lesson covers how to play the notes G, C, and High G on the guitar. Watch the video above to learn where to play these notes.

You can use the chart below to help you learn the notes or to help you review the lesson.

The chart has 3 columns.

  • The first column has a fretboard diagram and instructions on where the note is played. Use this to find the note. 
  • The middle column has the note name and a recording of the note. Use this to check your work. Make sure your note sounds the same as the recording.
  • The last column shows and describes where the note is on the musical staff.
