What is the note at the 10th fret of the 6th string?

The note at the 10th fret of the 6th string on a standard-tuned guitar is A.

To understand why this is the case, it's important to know the standard tuning of the guitar strings. The 6th string, also known as the low E string, is tuned to E. Each fret on the guitar raises the pitch of the note by one half step (semitone). Starting from E at the open string:

• The 1st fret is F,

• The 2nd fret is F# (or Gb),

• The 3rd fret is G,

• The 4th fret is G# (or Ab),

• The 5th fret is A.

Continuing this pattern, moving up to the 10th fret:

• The 6th fret is A# (or Bb),

• The 7th fret is B,

• The 8th fret is C,

• The 9th fret is C# (or Db),

• The 10th fret is D.

Therefore, when playing on the 6th string at the 10th fret, you are playing the note A. Understanding this fretboard mapping is essential for musicians to navigate the guitar neck effectively
