What note is located on the 9th fret of the 3rd (G) string?

To determine the note located on the 9th fret of the 3rd (G) string, it’s important to first understand the layout of the guitar fretboard. Each fret on a guitar represents a half step in pitch. The open 3rd string is G.

Starting from G, if we count up the frets, we find the following notes:

• 1st fret: G# (Ab)

• 2nd fret: A

• 3rd fret: A# (Bb)

• 4th fret: B

• 5th fret: C

• 6th fret: C# (Db)

• 7th fret: D

• 8th fret: D# (Eb)

• 9th fret: E

Continuing this counting, it becomes clear that the 9th fret on the 3rd string corresponds to the note B, which is the correct answer. This systematic approach of counting up to each fret and identifying the notes helps reinforce the understanding of the relationship between fret numbers and musical notes.
