Which chord is formed on the 1st String at the 2nd Fret?

• A. Fmaj
• B. Gmaj
• C. Amaj
• D. Bmaj

Answer: (A)

The chord formed on the 1st string at the 2nd fret is indeed F major. On a standard-tuned guitar, the 1st string is the high E string. When you press down on this string at the 2nd fret, you are playing an F note.

An F major chord consists of three notes: F, A, and C. To form this chord, you typically would also play the 2nd fret on the 3rd string (which is an A note), and the 1st fret on the 2nd string (which is a C note). However, the question specifically asks about the note on the 1st string only, which is F when played at the 2nd fret.

This understanding highlights how the note on the 1st string contributes to forming the overall F major chord when combined with the appropriate notes on other strings, thus confirming that the designation of this chord is accurate at that specific fret and string.
