A Guitar has 6 strings and Its Notes are assigned to these strings are E A D G B E from thickest string to thiner string.
If we use the thickest string of the guitar as a starting point, the names of the strings on the guitar would be E, A, D, G, B, and E. The thickest string, or low E string, is also referred to as the 6th string. The A string is the 5th string and so on. You will probably notice that the first and last strings are both E strings. The high E string, also called the 1st string, is just two octaves above the low E string. Check out the video that goes along with this lesson and then get ready to learn how to tune your guitar in the next lesson.
Generally people use to remeber this formula using Thicker string to Thinner string.
A picture given below will be helpful for you to understand the Notes and strings of Guitar.
The string names:
string 1 = high E (highest pitch, thinnest string, closest to ground)
string 2 = B
string 3 = G
string 4 = D
string 5 = A
string 6 = low E (lowest pitch, thickest string, closest to ceiling)
The name of the string also represents what note it sounds. For Example To play a B note, just play the 2nd string open.
