What chord is represented on the 12th fret of the 2nd string?

To determine what chord is represented on the 12th fret of the 2nd string, it's essential to first know the note names on the guitar fretboard. The 2nd string is the B string, which is tuned to the note B at the open position (0 fret).

As you move up the fretboard, each fret represents a half step increase in pitch. Therefore, the notes on the 2nd string would be as follows:

• Open string (0 fret) = B

• 1st fret = C

• 2nd fret = C#

• 3rd fret = D

• 4th fret = D#

• 5th fret = E
