The stave is made up of five parallel lines. Each of the lines and each of the spaces have a letter name. There is a rhyme for the lines: Every Good Boy Deserves Football. The Spaces spell FACE. The note in the top space is string one - E. The note on the third line up is string two - B. The note on the second line up is the G.

Hover the mouse pointer over the circled E - B & G to see the notes as they appear on the guitar.
