6th String Note Names — Learn, then test your speed.
Notes on the 6th String
The 6th string (low E) is one of the best places to start learning note names on the guitar. Use the diagram below as a visual map of the natural notes along the string. Don’t worry about memorizing everything at once — get familiar with where the notes live, then move on to the quiz to start building speed.
Note Name Quiz
This quiz comes in three levels, designed to help you build real speed and confidence with note names on each string.
Level 1 gives you about 4 seconds between each randomly called note — plenty of time to think and double-check.
Level 2 cuts that down to around 2 seconds, pushing you to react faster without panicking.
Level 3 is almost instant. It’ll feel like you’re barely keeping up — and that’s exactly the point. That edge-of-control feeling is where your note recognition really locks in.
