What is the note at the 5th fret of the E string?

The note at the 5th fret of the E string is A. When tuning the guitar, the E string is the thickest string and is tuned to the note E in standard tuning. As you move up the fretboard, each fret represents a half step increase in pitch.

Starting from the open E, you can find the notes at each fret as follows:

• 1st fret: F

• 2nd fret: F#

• 3rd fret: G

• 4th fret: G#

• 5th fret: A

Therefore, the correct answer is the note A at the 5th fret. The options provided do not include A, which may have caused some confusion. Each fret increases the pitch progressively, and understanding this will help you identify notes on the fretboard more easily in the future.
