How to fret a note - Guvna Guitars

Each metal strip on your guitar neck is called a fret

The first fret is the closest to headstock, and the number increases as you move towards

the body of the guitar. Your index finger is often used for fretting, and your thumb provides support from the back

of the neck. The idea is to press the string down against a fret while keeping your fingers close to

the fret without being directly on top of it. Let's start by fretting a note on a string

Play the open E string, and now, press down the first fret with your index finger

Ensure you're pressing the string down firmly enough to produce a clear sound, but not as

hard that it causes strain. Practice moving your index finger along the E string, fretting different notes

As you get comfortable, try moving to different strings and frets. Remember, it's not about strength, but about precision to properly fret a note
