String numbers
One more look at what you missed.
The six open strings are E, A, D, G, B and E.
That is from the thickest string to the thinnest. An open string is one played with no finger pressing it.
Guitarists also number the strings, from 1 to 6.
String 1 is the thinnest, the high E. String 6 is the thickest, the low E.
Strings 1, 2 and 3, played open.
The thinner the string, the higher it sounds, and the smaller its number. Pluck yours along with these.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Which string is string 6?
The numbers grow as the strings get lower.
1 is high E, 2 is B, 3 is G, 4 is D, 5 is A and 6 is low E.
Which note does string 5 play, open?
