The note layouts on the fretboard of a guitar tuned in perfect 4ths, with arrows that show where the same note continues on a higher-pitched string. All adjacent strings have the same interval and repeat at the 5th fret, unlike standard guitar tuning which has an inconsistency between the 2nd and 3rd strings.
When an open-note C-string is struck, its harmonic sequence begins with the notes (C,C,G,C,E,G,B♭,C). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] This overtone-series tuning was modified by Mick Ralphs , who used a high C rather than the high G for " Can't Get Enough " on Bad Company .
The layout of notes on the fretboard in standard tuning often forces guitarists to permute the tonal order of notes in a chord. The playing of conventional chords is simplified by open tunings , which are especially popular in folk , blues guitar and non-Spanish classical guitar (such as English and Russian guitar ).
When barring each fret in standard tuning, only and all of the notes of pentatonic scales are produced. For example, the open strings E, A, D, G, B, E yield the notes of the E minor pentatonic scale (G major pentatonic), and barring the third fret produces the notes of the G minor pentatonic scale (B♭ major pentatonic).
Chord diagrams for some common chords in major-thirds tuning. In music, a chord diagram (also called a fretboard diagram or fingering diagram) is a diagram indicating the fingering of a chord on fretted string instruments, showing a schematic view of the fretboard with markings for the frets that should be pressed when playing the chord.

Sometimes the guitarist leaves out the highest note in a double barre chord. Most variations of these two chords can be barred: dominant 7ths, minors, minor 7ths, etc. Minor barre chords include a minor third in the chord rather than the major third (in "E" and "A" shaped barre chords, this note happens to be the highest 'non-barred' note ...
Open D tuning. Open D tuning is an open tuning for the acoustic or electric guitar.The open string notes in this tuning are (from lowest to highest): D A D F ♯ A D.It uses the three notes that form the triad of a D major chord: D (the root note), F ♯ (the major third) and A (the perfect fifth).
The fingerboard (also known as a fretboard on fretted instruments) is an important component of most stringed instruments. It is a thin, long strip of material, usually wood, that is laminated to the front of the neck of an instrument.
