Notes on the Second String Guitar Lesson

Notes on the Second String

In the fourth lesson of his basic guitar series, Peter talks about the notes lower in pitch from "do" in Solfege. When the partial capo is attached at the 3rd fret on the first and second strings, these pitches correspond to the notes on the second string, which is lower in pitch than the first string.
