Behind this tuning lies a compromise centuries old, and an exception that explains half your struggles on the neck. Welcome to the Guitar Fretboard Guide series: we start with the foundation of everything, the setting of your six strings.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"direct-answer\" id=\"essentiel\">\n  <h2>The essentials in 30 seconds<\/h2>\n  <p>The <strong>standard tuning<\/strong> of the guitar is E, A, D, G, B, E, from the lowest string (the 6th, the thickest) to the highest (the 1st, the thinnest). This order is not arbitrary: most strings are spaced a <strong>perfect fourth<\/strong> apart (five half steps), except between the 3rd string (G) and the 2nd string (B) where the interval is a <strong>major third<\/strong> (four half steps). This setting is a compromise that makes both chords easy to form with one hand and scales accessible without too much shifting. It&#8217;s the default tuning used on almost all sheet music, tabs, and methods.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<nav class=\"toc\">\n  <h2>On the menu<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li><a href=\"#cordes\">1.

Beautiful consequence: they have the same note layout fret by fret. What you learn on one, you get for free on the other.<\/p>\n\n  <p>And the reference point for all of this is the tuning fork: A at 440 Hz. Your open A string sounds exactly two octaves below, at 110 Hz: 110, 220, 440. Everything holds together by octaves.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- ============ H2 : numbering ============ -->\n<section id=\"numerotation\">\n  <h2>2. How the strings are numbered<\/h2>\n\n  <p>The convention that trips up all beginners: the numbering goes opposite to thickness. <strong>String 1 is the thinnest<\/strong> (high E, at the bottom when you play), <strong>string 6 the thickest<\/strong> (low E, at the top). This is the convention of all tabs and chord diagrams, and we&#8217;ll keep it throughout this series. Remember it once and for all: string 1 = thinnest.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- ============ H2 : why ============ -->\n<section id=\"pourquoi\">\n  <h2>3. Why this tuning and not another<\/h2>\n\n  <h3>The perfect fourth, the basic interval of tuning<\/h3>\n\n  <p>Measure the gap between two adjacent strings, with the tool from the theory series: <a href=\"\/en\/music-theory-for-guitar\/music-intervals-guitar\/\">the perfect fourth and the major third<\/a>. From E to A: 5 half steps, a perfect fourth. From A to D: a fourth. From D to G: a fourth. From B to E: a fourth. And from G to B&#8230; only 4 half steps, a major third. <strong>Four fourths, one third<\/strong>: that&#8217;s the entire recipe for standard tuning.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"ta-card ta-widget\" data-ta-widget=\"intervalles-accordage\">\n    <svg viewBox=\"0 0 860 240\" role=\"img\" aria-labelledby=\"a3t\" aria-describedby=\"a3d\">\n      <title id=\"a3t\">The intervals between adjacent strings in standard tuning<\/title>\n      <desc id=\"a3d\">The six open strings aligned with the gaps between neighbors: perfect fourth (five half steps) between E-A, A-D, D-G and B-E, major third (four half steps) between G and B. Each gap is clickable and plays both strings.<\/desc>\n      <g data-role=\"stage\"><\/g>\n    <\/svg>\n    <div class=\"readout\" data-role=\"readout\">Click a gap to hear the two strings that frame it. Four fourths (in green), one third (in red).<\/div>\n    <p class=\"svg-caption\">Arithmetic check: 5 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 5 = 24 half steps = exactly 2 octaves. This total makes the high string land back on an E.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h3>A compromise between chords and scales<\/h3>\n\n  <p>Why not tune everything in fourths, nice and regular? Because you&#8217;d lose your chords: many would become unplayable with one hand, and your high string would no longer be an E but an F, breaking the symmetry of the two E&#8217;s. Standard tuning is a deliberate compromise: the fourths keep the hand compact and make scale fingerings regular, the G-B third makes open chords playable and closes the whole thing on exactly two octaves. The guitar chose to serve both worlds, melodies and harmony. (An all-fourths tuning exists, some jazz players use it: different choice, different compromises.)<\/p>\n\n  <p>One last word: standard tuning isn&#8217;t the only one. Drop your low E string by one tone and you get drop D, handy for riffs and one-finger power chords. But that&#8217;s another subject.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- ============ H2 : G-B ============ -->\n<section id=\"sol-si\">\n  <h2>4. The special case of the G and B strings<\/h2>\n\n  <p>This major third between G and B, we&#8217;ll call it the <strong>G-B exception<\/strong>, and it will follow us through the entire series: it&#8217;s what explains why certain shapes (octaves, chords, scale patterns) shift by one fret as soon as they cross these two strings. You already encountered it in the theory series; here, it becomes a main character. It&#8217;s neither a bug nor an error: it&#8217;s the price, very reasonable, of the compromise we just saw.<\/p>\n\n  <p>And the beautiful part: you already know it with your fingers. Proof by the tuning gesture:<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"ta-card ta-widget\" data-ta-widget=\"methode-5e-case\">\n    <div class=\"controls\" style=\"justify-content:center;\" data-role=\"btns\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"readout\" data-role=\"readout\">Click a pair of strings: you hear the reference fret, then the following open string. Same pitch&#8230; and spot the oddball.<\/div>\n    <p class=\"svg-caption\">The classic method: the 5th fret of a string sounds like the next open string. Except for tuning B: it&#8217;s the 4th fret of G. This one fret less, that&#8217;s the G-B exception in person. (The method assumes a reference string already in tune; for precision, the tuner remains king: see the next lesson.)<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- Practical box -->\n<section class=\"guitar-tip\">\n  <h3>On your guitar: three challenges this week<\/h3>\n  <p><strong>Challenge 1.<\/strong> Recite your six strings in both directions (E A D G B E, then E B G D A E) and in both notations.

It&#8217;s the tuning on which the vast majority of tabs, sheet music, and methods are written. Every guitar sold new is set this way by default. Other tunings, like drop D or open G, are variations used for specific styles or songs.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <p class=\"faq-question\">What are the notes of the strings in E A D G B E?<\/p>\n    <p class=\"faq-answer\">From the lowest to the highest string, the notes are: E (string 6), A (string 5), D (string 4), G (string 3), B (string 2), and E (string 1). The two outer strings are both E&#8217;s, but separated by two octaves: the 6th string is a low E, the 1st a high E. A common mnemonic in English is &#8220;Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie&#8221; or simply reciting E, A, D, G, B, E from bottom to top.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <p class=\"faq-question\">Which is the lowest string and how are the strings numbered?<\/p>\n    <p class=\"faq-answer\">The lowest string is the low E string, also called string 6: it&#8217;s the thickest, the one at the top when you hold the guitar in playing position. The numbering goes opposite to thickness: string 1 is the thinnest and highest (high E), string 6 the thickest and lowest. This convention is used in all tabs and chord diagrams. Remembering that string 1 is the thinnest avoids the most common beginner confusion.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <p class=\"faq-question\">Why is the guitar tuned E A D G B E?<\/p>\n    <p class=\"faq-answer\">This tuning is a compromise between ease of playing chords and ease of playing scales. Most strings are tuned a perfect fourth apart, an interval that allows forming chords with one hand without too much stretching. The tighter gap between the G and B strings (a major third) facilitates playing common chords and brings the high notes closer under your fingers. Historically, this setting prevailed because it offers the best balance between hand comfort, harmonic richness, and note coverage across six strings.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <p class=\"faq-question\">Why is the gap between the G and B strings different from the others?<\/p>\n    <p class=\"faq-answer\">On five of the six strings, the interval between two adjacent strings is a perfect fourth (five half steps). Between the 3rd string (G) and the 2nd string (B), the gap is only a major third (four half steps). This small irregularity is deliberate: it makes open chords and common shapes easier to play, and it allows covering more high notes on the last strings. In return, it&#8217;s also what explains why certain shapes shift by one fret when they cross the G and B strings.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- Recap -->\n<section id=\"recap\" class=\"summary\">\n  <h2>Summary<\/h2>\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>E A D G B E<\/strong>, from string 6 (thickest) to string 1 (thinnest).
