A piano can play from A0 to C8. The lowest note E2 can be played by playing the 6th string open. The highest note E5 can be played by fretting the 1st string, 12th fret. Music for the guitar is written one octave higher on the staff than the note sounds. If a note is written for guitar where E2 is shown, this would be an E3 on Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08173905245422853986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094336463525927105.post-33961374738179322092013-05-07T14:19:00.001-04:002013-05-07T14:19:38.558-04:00E minor blues guitar scale
