What note resides on the 10th fret of the 2nd string?

The correct note on the 10th fret of the 2nd string is B.

To understand why, it's helpful to know the tuning of the guitar and how to determine the notes on the fretboard. The 2nd string of a guitar is known as the B string, and it is tuned to B in standard tuning. When you play a note at a given fret, you are essentially raising the pitch of that open string by a specific interval for each fret you move up.

Starting from the open B string (which is the 0th fret), the notes follow this sequence as you move up the frets:

• 0th fret: B (open string)

• 1st fret: C

• 2nd fret: C#

• 3rd fret: D

• 4th fret: D#

• 5th fret: E

• 6th fret: F

• 7th fret: F#

• 8th fret: G

• 9th fret: G#

• 10th fret: A

Upon reaching the 10th fret, you will find that the note corresponds to B when you count the frets starting from the open note on the 2
