Read pitch locations clearly
Each reference includes the scale notes, root frets across all six strings and a matching text table. The diagram uses high E at the top and low E at the bottom; open-string labels identify the octave as well as the note name.
Choose a position that suits the phrase
Use the map to locate nearby tones and compare the same pitch class in different registers. A page shows pitch positions, not a promised hand shape or a command to play every marked note together.
Check the tuning before using the coordinates
These pages assume E2, A2, D3, G3, B3, E4 from low to high. A capo, retuning or a different instrument changes the relationship between a numbered fret and its sounding pitch.
