What is the note on the 7th fret of the 2nd string?

To determine the note on the 7th fret of the 2nd string (which is the B string on a standard-tuned guitar), we need to understand the layout of the fretboard.

The notes on the B string progress through the musical alphabet as follows:

• Open string is B

• 1st fret is C

• 2nd fret is C#

• 3rd fret is D

• 4th fret is D#

• 5th fret is E

• 6th fret is F

• 7th fret is F#

Thus, the note on the 7th fret of the B string is indeed F#. The reference to A in your answer suggests a misunderstanding of the note names along the neck of the guitar.

When identifying notes on the fretboard, it's essential to remember the sequence of natural notes and sharps/flats that follow systematically. As you practice, visualizing and memorizing these patterns will greatly aid in your understanding of the guitar neck, allowing you to identify notes accurately as you become more proficient.
