The six strings of the guitar in Standard Tuning are as follows:

• 6th string, E
• 5th string, A (just over an octave below middle C)
• 4th string, D (the one next to the 1st string, about an octave below middle C)
• 3rd string, G (3 whole steps, a “forth,” below middle C)
• 2nd string, B (one half step below middle C)
• 1st string, E (2 whole steps above middle C)
