Identify the note that is played at the 8th fret of the E string.

The note played at the 8th fret of the E string is C. To understand this, it's helpful to visualize the guitar fretboard and know the notes along the E string.

The open E string is tuned to E. As you move up the frets, you raise the pitch of the note by a half-step for each fret. Here’s a quick breakdown for the first 8 frets:

• 0 fret (open) = E

• 1st fret = F

• 2nd fret = F#

• 3rd fret = G

• 4th fret = G#

• 5th fret = A

• 6th fret = A#

• 7th fret = B

• 8th fret = C

As we can see, counting from E at the open string, the 8th fret produces a C note. This knowledge is fundamental for understanding how to navigate the fretboard and find notes at various frets on different strings.
