 Principal parts of the Guitar

The guitar strings are divided into two groups: Bass strings and Treble strings. The basses are wounded with metal wire and the trebles are plain. Each group contains three strings.

All six strings are marked with a number inside a circle. String No. is the lowest and string No. is the highest. See the photo on the right.

In order to distinguish the right hand fingers from the left, the right hand fingers are marked with small inclined letters. The Spanish terms are:
p - pulgar.
i - indice.
m - medio.
a - anular.
