What note is found at the 12th fret of the 2nd string?

The note found at the 12th fret of the 2nd string, which is the B string, is indeed B. On a standard-tuned guitar, the notes on the 2nd string from the open position to the 12th fret progress as follows:

• Open string (0th fret) = B

• 1st fret = C

• 2nd fret = C#

• 3rd fret = D

• 4th fret = D#

• 5th fret = E

• 6th fret = F

• 7th fret = F#

• 8th fret = G

• 9th fret = G#

• 10th fret = A

• 11th fret = A#

• 12th fret = B

When you reach the 12th fret on that string, you are essentially playing the same note as the open B string but one octave higher. This octave relationship means that the note names repeat, confirming that the note at the 12th fret of the 2nd string is indeed B.

Understanding the layout of the fretboard and how the notes progress in half-steps helps in navigating the guitar effectively. Each fret represents a half
