What is the note found at the 8th fret of the 6th (low E) string?

• A. C
• B. D
• C. E
• D. F

Answer: (C)

The note found at the 8th fret of the 6th string, which is the low E string, is an F. To understand this better, let's start from the open string note and proceed up the fretboard.

The 6th string is tuned to E. When you move up the frets, each fret represents a half step in pitch. Therefore:

• The 1st fret is F (one half step up from E).

• The 2nd fret is F#.

• The 3rd fret is G.

• The 4th fret is G#.

• The 5th fret is A.

• The 6th fret is A#.

• The 7th fret is B.

• The 8th fret is C.

So, at the 8th fret, the note is C, as you proceed through each consecutive half step from the open E string up to the 8th fret. The correct note in this context is indeed C.
