Default Re: Guitar playing: on the frets themselves

[ QUOTE ]
Cool... and the bridge is that thing that elevates them above the fretboard, I take it?

essentially, yes.

Now, is there a different term for the note that you would play on the 3rd fret of the first string, and the piece of metal between the frets?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes - the former is a "G" and the latter is a "fret"

(that piece of metal is the fret)

Edit: And yeah, my guitar is a real friggin pain to play. I can't really play, as I've never had lessons, and I just picked it up in the past few weeks after a while of playing dust, but I'm having fun screwwing around with it between p-ker sessions. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
