Which note is on the 8th fret of the 2nd string?

The note on the 8th fret of the 2nd string is actually F#. The second string on a standard-tuned guitar is tuned to B. When you go up the fretboard, each fret represents a half-step (or semitone) increase in pitch.

Starting from the open 2nd string (B), the notes on each fret would be as follows:

• 1st fret: C

• 2nd fret: C#

• 3rd fret: D

• 4th fret: D#

• 5th fret: E

• 6th fret: F

• 7th fret: F#

• 8th fret: G

Therefore, the 8th fret of the 2nd string corresponds to the note G, not C.
