At which fret would you find an A# note on the 4th (D) string?

To determine the location of the A# note on the 4th (D) string, it’s essential to understand how the notes are laid out on the guitar fretboard. The notes on the 4th string (D string) follow the natural musical alphabet, which includes: D, E, F, G, A, and B, along with their sharp (#) and flat (b) variations.

Starting at the open string (0 fret), the notes on the 4th string progress as follows:

• Open string (0): D

• 1st fret: D# (or Eb)

• 2nd fret: E

• 3rd fret: F

• 4th fret: F# (or Gb)

• 5th fret: G

• 6th fret: G# (or Ab)

• 7th fret: A

• 8th fret: A# (or Bb)

From this progression, you can see that the A# is located at the 8th fret of the D string. This is why the answer indicating the 6th fret is not correct for locating an A#. The 6th fret gives you the G# note instead, which is
