Strings of the Guitar

Every note on the guitar has a name, represented by a letter. The names of each of these notes is important; guitarists need to know where to find these notes on their instrument, in order to read music.

The strings, from sixth to first (thickest to thinnest) are named E, A, D, G, B and E again.

The acronym is "Eat All Day Go to Bed Early". That may seem silly but I bet that it will help you remember the names of the open guitar strings.
