Chris:

In these lessons you give one very interesting example I'd like to learn a little more about. Specifically, you note that the open A string rings out at 110 hertz and then at the octave (same string fret 12) we have a 2:1 ratio since it rings out at 220.

Now, the E note on the 7th fret is the 5th of the scale and it rings out at 55 hertz (1/2 of the open A). You note that this is as "far from home base" as you can get.

What I'm curious to learn more about is the other strings and the mathematical relationship between all frets. For example, what pitch is the 1st string open E at and what frequency does it ring out at if I press the first fret, second fret, 3rd and so on.

Does such a resource exist?
