Learning the Fretboard

Learn the notes on the low E and A strings first — everything else follows.

Simple answer

Natural notes are two frets apart except B–C and E–F, which are one fret apart.

Go deeper

Octave shapes connect strings: two strings up and two frets over. Practise naming notes out loud as you play them.
