This lesson (again in the beginner course) explains enharmonics in terms of natural notes versus accidental notes:

We intentionally avoided the term enharmonic in that series of lessons, though. We did that to avoid using "big scary musical theory terms" in lessons for absolute beginners. :) Also, because it was just as accurate to use the term accidental and especially since we could contrast that term with natural.

Thx guys it,s only been a few days and a few hours but i have gained a thorough insight into the fretboard and how the notes progess along each string starting with the open string note and along the fretboard,thankfully i already have musical knowledge but i can see how beginners can become confused with a chord ie a three note chord or triad in inversion but as long as the three notes of the chord are played the chord is ok and a three note chord obviously has two alternative inversions C major chord can be CEG with it,s root note at 1st position, and then either EGC, or GCE either way there,s barely a difference in the sound in fact with most chords you could leave out the 5th with little affect to the sound enough said but it helps to make for convenient finger positions with this flexibility.Of course the C major or any other major chord will always have the root note,the 3rd and the 5th in its original theoretical 1st order as we have to know what is the original 1st 3rd and 5th of any chord especially as the 3rd gives the chord it,s major or minor quality ie a flat 3rd would make it a minor C chord.
