What string do i use when reading guitar sheet music?

I know i've just asked this question but...





I understand the music now after doing some research but what i don't understand still is how do you know which string it's on for example it might say an F# on the music but how do i know which string the F# is played on?





Thanks xWhat string do i use when reading guitar sheet music?
An F# 3 ledgerlines below the treble staff is played on string six, fret two. The first space F# could be played on the fourth string, fourth fret or fifth string, ninth fret or even sixth string 14th fret. It all depends on what the other notes you play are and what fingering works most logically.





Apply the same reasoning to the higher F#s.What string do i use when reading guitar sheet music?
If you are clear on what octave you are supposed to play. It depends on where you are coming form and where the music goes next, pick the position/string that allows the music to flow. If the music goes slow enough then playing on one string can be a good choice to keep and even string timbre. Learn your neck, can you find, let's say one F# on every string?


Little trick: you can cover the great majority of the range of the guitar around the 5th position, so learn it well.
