Guitar - Chord Basics

String Names

String names are one of the first things you'll learn when learning to play the guitar.

The nemonic 'Eddy ate dynamite, good bye Eddy' is one way to remember the string names which are ' E A D G B e', in that order, from the top down, with the last e being a 'high e'. They are numbered 6,5,4,3,2,1 from top down.
