Neck Mapping: 6th string and 5th string (Guitar I and II)

As we move into power chords and eventually moveable bar chords, it becomes more and more important to know the notes on the 5th and 6th strings. It is on these strings that the chord letter name is played more often than not.

The above photo lists the notes on the 5th and 6th strings. You must commit these notes to memory. This is how you will know where to place your hand on the neck. Power chords are played on either the 6th string or the 5th string so it is vital to understanding these chords.
