In guitar sheet music how do you you know which note is what on the guitar?

I know the lines are E G B D F and the spaces are F A C E and i know that there's many notes that extend on ledger lines above and below the staff. I just don't understand how to apply it to the guitar. like for example how do i know which A on the staff is the open A string on my guitar thanks. i already know how to play guitar tab but i wanna learn sheet music. and i already know the note values. thanksIn guitar sheet music how do you you know which note is what on the guitar?
Wow, lots of questions, great advice, but nobody bothered to answer the question.





The way to understand how sheet music applies to the guitar is to start with middle C.





Middle C is the ledger line just below the E in EGBDF.


It'll look like this on the staff.





F--------------------------


D-------------------------


B--------------------------


G--------------------------


E---------------------------


----- %26lt;-Middle C





Anyway, middle C is the 3rd fret on the A string. It is also the 8th fret on the low E string (remember that we tune at the 5th fret, so 5(A) plus 3 (3frets) = 8, 8th fret on the E.





From there you should be able to figure out the rest, as long as you know the musical alphabet. Remember that there is a natural half step between E and F, and B and C.





So in other words here's the musical alphabet;


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





The notes divided by ';/'; above are the two ways of naming that note. There are only 12 notes in total, and those are their names.





If you start at the open string on the A string, 1st fret would be A#/Bb, 2nd fret would be B/Cb, 3rd fret would be B#/C (middle C), etc.. all the way up to the 11th fret, which is G#/Ab.





The 12th fret would be A, and the process starts over again until the 23rd fret. The dots on the guitar are there to help too.





If you don't already know, the 12th fret note names are the same as the open strings, 1st and 13th are the same, 2nd and 14th...etc..





So, going back for a minute, middle C is As3f (Astring 3fret), then the D (space right above middle C, just below the E) the D is As5f, the E from EGBDF is As7f, which since it is above the 5th fret, can also be played on the D string (2nd fret).





If you think about it like this, the whole guitar should open up pretty quickly! Good Luck!





P.S. Often in sheet music, you will see 8va or 15va above what you are reading. This means to play what is written an octave higher than written. Writers do this so they can avoid writing 15 million ledger lines above the staff. Just to keep in mind for later!In guitar sheet music how do you you know which note is what on the guitar?
the strings on a guitar are E A D G B E. each time you go up the frets, it goes up one semitone. open e will of course be e. the first fret of that e string will be F (the next semi tone of E) and the second fret will be F# next semitone of F, the third fret will be G the next semitone next to F#. so if you are trying to play C on the A string, you will play the third fret because it goes A(open), A#(first fret) B(second fret), and then finally C, the note you are looking for on the third fret.
theres definititely a lot more to reading music than what you currently know. you should go out and buy a beginner guitar book that teaches you to learn music. itll take you years you self teach yourself. its so much easier if you have a written guide
Hi, you can go to these websites to learn how to read music sheets for guitar. I can't extract here cause there are illustrations that you need to refer to. Hope it helps and happy playing guitar!
