indeed - punch him in the face for been stupid. there is a way

the tonal range of a guitar is stringwise:

E - A - d - g - h - e'

The lowest note is E and the highest note (on a 24 fretter) is e''

On a side note - the guitar is a transposing instrument - that means it sounds one octave higher than it is notated.

The E is the note notated 3 lines below the stave.

lemmy try to display this (this should be a stave)


-O- e'' (12th fret high e-string or similar note on different string)
