Fret The neck of a guitar showing the nut (in the background, coloured white) and first four metal frets. A fret is a raised element on the neck of a stringed instrument. Frets usually extend across the full width of the neck. On most modern western fretted instruments, frets are metal strips inserted into the fingerboard. On some historical instruments and non-European instruments, frets are made of pieces of string tied around the neck. Frets divide the neck into fixed segments at intervals related to a musical framework. On instruments such as guitars, each fret represents one semitone in the sta

Guitar The guitar is a string instrument which is played by plucking the strings. The main parts of a guitar are the body, the fretboard, the headstock and the strings. Guitars are usually made from wood or plastic.Their strings are made of steel or nylon. The guitar strings are plucked with the fingers and fingernails of the right hand (or left hand, for left handed players), or a small pick made of thin plastic.his is because they do not use acoustics to amplify the sound. Most guitars have six strings, but there are also guitars with four, seven, eight, ten, or twelve strings. More strings make the instrument sound fuller. The neck of a guitar has bars or marks called frets.

- This curve is to make the fretboard more comfortable for the fretting hand. The radius is described as a measurement such as 7.25, 9.5, 12 or 16. These measurements tell you that the fretboard is a segment of a circle or cylinder, which has a radius, or size of 7.25, 9.5, 12 or 16.his is because when you bend a string on a lower part of the fretboard such as your first or second string, you are bending it towards the middle of the fretboard, which is higher than the edges, so the notes will tend to fret out - buzz against the higher parts of the fret, killing sustain.

Learning the Fretboard Learning the fretboard is a challenge that this lesson will help you tackle efficiently. Did you know that a 22-fret guitar contains 138 notes? It is a huge task that challenges both beginner and experienced guitarists. This lesson will tell you why some people teach it the wrong way (inefficiently and boring).

Instruments with more frets are used by bassists who play bass solos, as more frets gives them additional upper range notes.

Calculating Fret Positions Also consider that there are twelve tones in the equally tempered scale. From this it should be apparent that fret position offset will be a function of the twelfth root of two. The twelfth root of two is the number which, if multiplied by itself twelve times, would equal two. It is approximately 1.0594630943593.

5th Fret Guitar Tuning Method The 5th Fret Tuning Method is a simple way to check your tuning and to tune your guitar. With this method you have to get at least one of your strings in tune (preferably the low E string), because from that string you will tune the rest of your strings using that as a reference.our guitar should now be in tune. For a simple check to see if you do it right, you play both the 1st and the 6th string at the same time. They should sound similar, but just in a different octave.
