What note is at the 6th fret of the 4th (D) string?

• A. A
• B. A#
• C. B
• D. C

Answer: (B)

To determine the note at the 6th fret of the 4th (D) string, it's important to understand how the notes are laid out on the fretboard. The 4th string of the guitar is tuned to D in standard tuning.

From D, we can identify the notes on the subsequent frets:

• 1st fret = D# or Eb

• 2nd fret = E

• 3rd fret = F

• 4th fret = F# or Gb

• 5th fret = G

• 6th fret = G# or Ab

Thus, at the 6th fret of the 4th string, you find the note G#. This means that the choice for A#, which is noted as 8th fret of the 6th string, does not fall on the 6th fret of the D string.

Utilizing this method of visualizing and remembering the positions of notes along the fretboard will enhance your overall familiarity with the guitar and aid greatly during practice and performance.
