I NOTICED THAT IN ALL THE TIME I'VE SPENT DOWNLOADING TEXT FILES, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ONE DEALING WITH UBJECT OF GUITAR PLAYING. SO WHAT I'VE DONE IS WRITE MY OWN. THIS
CHAPTER WILL DEAL MAINLY WITH H AIS.
FIRST OF ALL YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE RANGE OF THE HUMAN EAR IS LIMITED TO A
SPECTRUM OF FREQUENCIES.CTAVE IS A MEASUREMENT OF SOUND WITHIN THIS LIMITED RANGE.
THE STANDARD DEFINITION OF AN OCTAVE SEGT"DIATONIC" NOTES. HOWEVER, AS ANYBODY CAN
SEE

THE WORD "SHARP" MEANS SIMPLY ONE NOTE ABOVE AND IS DESIGNATED BY THIS SYMBOL #.
THE WORD FLAT MEAN NOTE BELOW AND IS DESIGNATED BY A SYMBOL THAT UNFORNTUNATLY
CAN'T BE REPRODUCED BY THE COMPUTERBTLOS ALMOST LIKE A SMALL B WITH A LITTLE MORE
FL

I WILL NOW TRY TO SHOW YOU THE WAY THE NOTES ARE SET UP ON A PIANO BECAUSE IT IS
A GOOD VISUAL EXAMF HOW THE OCTAVE REPEATS ITSELF.

THE G STRING, THE 4TH STRING IS TEDSRNG, THE 5TH STRING IS THE A STRING, AND THE 6
