Notes Below the Staff for Classical Guitar

Hi my name is John Armstrong with expertvillage.com I'm a professional guitar instructor and today we are going to be discussing beginning classical guitar. Next I will like to discuss some of the notes in the ledger lines below the staff. First we be learning the A, the B and the C notes. The A is the open 5th string it lies on the 2nd ledger line below the staff. The B is on the 2nd fret in your 2nd finger in the 5th string and lies just beneath the 1st ledger line below staff. The C is in the 3rd fret using your 3rd finger on the 5th string and it lies on the 1st one below the ledger below the staff. So we have A,B and C. The next three notes are the E, the F, and the G note which we play on the low E string. The open low E which is 3 lines lies below the 3rd line below the ledger staff ledger 3rd line below the ledger staff. The F note which is on the 3rd line the 3rd ledger below the staff. The G note which lies just beneath the 2nd ledger line under the staff so we have E,F and G and it would be low A,B,C. The next exercise deals with the use of some of these notes some 8th, it is also using some of the notes that we learned previously. Notice the C at the beginning this one is in 4,4 time that is a common time symbol I was talking about, common time signature. Here we go our 4,4 time counting of a blank measure first 1,2, ready I will also use the thumb I will use P or the thumb using rest strokes throughout this whole thing for the most part. 1,2, ready begin and 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1, 2, and 3,4,1,2,3,4. One more time 1,2 ready begin and 1,2,3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2, and 3,4,1,2,3,4.
