What is the note at the 10th fret of the 1st string?

The note at the 10th fret of the 1st string, which is the high E string on a standard-tuned guitar, is indeed A. When you play the open 1st string, it produces the note E. As you move up the fretboard, each fret raises the pitch by a half step.

To find out the note at the 10th fret, you can count the half steps from the open string:

• 1st fret = F

• 2nd fret = F#/Gb

• 3rd fret = G

• 4th fret = G#/Ab

• 5th fret = A

• 6th fret = A#/Bb

• 7th fret = B

• 8th fret = C

• 9th fret = C#/Db

• 10th fret = D

So the note at the 10th fret is actually D. The other answer choices also represent different notes, showing a sequence of whole and half steps across the fretboard, but the correct note for the 10th fret of the 1st string is D. Understanding this pattern is crucial for navigating the fretboard effectively.
