Throughout these lessons there will be fretboard diagrams. Like the one following:
This fretboard diagram represents a C Major scale.
The string on the top is the high E string. The string on the bottom is the low E string. The numbers across the bottom are the fret numbers. The dots represent the notes to be played in the scale. The blue notes represent the Root notes in the scale.
Try these using legato where it says h above the tab. Very useful for turnarounds, etc. Helps you visualize triads as well.

Your strings will get old or break, you will need to change them yourself. Typically, when you start to see rust or dirt on your strings, and when they just
