In the western world of music middle C is defined as C4, which is matched to the guitar 3rd fret A string or 8th fret LowE string. This is because the LowE string on guitar is tuned standardly to E3 and the next C is C4 (the number group of the notes starts on C or commonly known as Do).[br][br]No offense to anyone posting incorrect information without knowing it's incorrect; it's nobody's fault to be unwittingly incorrect about something.[br][br]Cheers :)

Is the low E string tuned to E3? My Mel Bay guitar book has it mapped to E2, which would make Luigi (post #3) correct. In fact all reference material I can find shows low E mapped to E2 not E3.
