This is an easy to follow diagram, which was origanlly 
designed for the Metal Rock Lessons that were published 
in 1986, which was taught in Lesson 1.This is now taught 
on DVD, in You Can Play Guitar - Volume 1.
Simply enough, the frets are shown on top, and the notes 
are shown below.

Natural notes
A natural note is a note that contains no sharps(#) or
flats(b)The natural notes are A,B,C,D,E,F and G.After
the 12th fret, the same notes are repeated as octaves.

Sharps and Flats
Any note sharp or flat may have 2 names.If you move up 1 
fret from F, the note is raised in pitch.This makes the 
note sharp.(#) F#
If you move down from G, the note is lowered in pitch, known
as flat.(b) So therefore, the note on the second fret, has 
2 names, F# or Gb.There are no sharps or flats between E and 
F, or B and C. For example:
