Thread Name: Mnemonic for GDAE?
Subject: RE: Mnemonic for GDAE?
A mnemonic for GDAE is not needed if you know a smidgen of music theory. The strings are a fifth apart. A fifth is an interval of five notes, inclusive. GABCD, five notes, is a fifth. DEFGA, five notes, is a fifth. ABCDE, five notes, is a fifth. All the strings are a fifth apart. All you need to remember is the lowest string, G.
