  2. Fret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fret

    Fat frets make bending easier, and they change the feel of the guitar. As well, large frets, offering more metal, remain playable much longer than thin frets. A side effect of a thicker fret is a less precise note, since the string is held over a wider surface, causing a slight inaccuracy of pitch, which increases in significance as frets wear. [2]

  3. Fingerboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerboard

    Frets let the player stop the string consistently in the same place, which enables the musician to play notes with the correct intonation. As well, frets do not dampen string vibrations as much as fingers alone on an unfretted fingerboard. Frets may be fixed, as on a guitar or mandolin, or movable, as on a lute.

  4. Guitar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar

    The guitar is a stringed musical instrument that is usually fretted (with some exceptions) and typically has six or twelve strings.It is usually held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand.

  5. Multi-scale fingerboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-scale_fingerboard

    Fanned-fret guitars have a multi-scale fingerboard because of "offset" frets; that is, frets that extend from the neck of the guitar at an angle. Ralph Novak (Novax Guitars) was the first to apply this idea to the electric guitar (1988). [2] The frets are arrayed on an angle, in contrast to the standard perpendicular arrangement of other guitars.

  6. Fretting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting

    Fretting refers to wear and sometimes corrosion damage of loaded surfaces in contact while they encounter small oscillatory movements tangential to the surface. Fretting is caused by adhesion of contact surface asperities , which are subsequently broken again by the small movement.

  7. Tapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapping

    Tapped harmonics are produced by holding a note with a player's fretting hand, and tapping twelve frets down from that note with the player's tapping hand (i.e. the note on the 4th fret of the A string is tapped on the 16th fret of the A string). Rather than hammering-on and pulling-off with the right hand, harmonics are produced by hitting the ...

  8. String bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_bending

    String bending is a guitar technique where fretted strings are displaced by application of a force by the fretting fingers in a direction perpendicular to their vibrating length. This has the net effect of increasing the pitch of a note (or notes as the case may be).

  9. Zero fret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_fret

    Zero fret on a Hopf Saturn 63 electric guitar. A zero fret is a fret placed at the headstock end of the neck of a banjo, guitar, mandolin, or bass guitar. It serves one of the functions of a nut: holding the strings the correct distance above the other frets on the instrument's fretboard. A separate string-guide (often a regular nut) is still ...
