Treble Clef High A, B, C, D

[ChrisJ032]

Hi All, I am currently in lesson 7 on LMG and now picking up additional music books as Steve recommends. The high A, B, C and D have not yet been covered but figure that comes in later chapter. What fret and string do you use to play these notes? Thanks Chris

Much later and indirectly are notes in the 5th position and higher are not really covered.

Semi covered in the pentatonic scales but notes are not named in the session 11 pentatonic scales

You will learn 6th string and 5th string notes in session 7 and 8 as they are your root notes for barre chords.

@ChrisJ032   Good question.   There comes a time when we need to learn notes all over the fretboard.    It’s possible to locate any note on any string by starting with the open string note and working up that string to find the note sought.   Following that idea on all six strings will help you find that note’s location on the fretboard.   Repetition has been my best teacher.   I play a mind game where I want to find C  on every string, and I try to achieve that goal without counting up.   

I’m not the theory guru, but I try to think in terms of octaves from where I’m at versus “high”.  

Hope this helps,

Bryan

Of course just memorizing all the notes on the fretboard regardless of position is best, but a quick way I learned is this;  

Learn the notes on the 6th (low E)1string(the same notes)  and 5th (A )... thats not that many, and it really helps with barre cords.

Next, to find a note name on the 4th and 3rd strings, just find it on the E or A , skip over a string and up a whole step (2 frets) and voila, there it is again.(it works in reverse too) For the 2nd string just do the same thing from the 4th string to the 2nd EXCEPT go up 3 frets (1 1/2 steps).

So you really only have to "memorize: the 6th and 5th strings, at first anyway. Beyond the 12th fret is just repeats as an octave higher.
