fretboard

/ˈfret.bɔːd/ us. /ˈfret.bɔːrd/ Add to word list Add to word list. a long strip of wood on a musical instrument, such as a guitar, that has frets and against which the strings are pressed by the fingers in order to change the note that is played.

The fingerboard (also known as a fretboard on fretted instruments) is an important component of most stringed instruments. It is a thin, long strip of material, usually wood, that is laminated to the front of the neck of an instrument. The strings run over the fingerboard, between the nut and bridge.

Each fret represents a new note for each string, but when we come to press our fingers on the fretboard, we actually use the spaces in between the fret wires to create the note, not the wire itself. For example, pick any fret and the space before that is the area that creates the note when applying our fingers.

noun (Mining) The worn side of the bank of a river. See 4th fret , n., 4. noun A vitreous compound, used by potters in glazing, consisting of lime, silica, borax, lead, and soda.

If your fingerboard is free of gunk, all you need to do is oil it. Buy a bottle of mineral oil at the grocery store. With all the strings off the tuners and stuffed into the sound hole, apply some oil on a folded paper towel and wipe it on the face of the fingerboard. It's fine to wipe it on the frets.

A guitarist who has learned all the notes on the fretboard: Can more effectively learn scales and chords. Has a better understanding of keys, intervals, and scale degrees. Is able to more easily memorise songs. Has a greater capacity to understand music theory.

You could make an argument that since frets don't provide ideal vibrational nodes, the density of the wood affects the way the frets vibrate, impacting the sound of the instrument.

The fretboard, otherwise known as the fingerboard is where you will shape these notes. It is a is a thin, long strip of material, usually wood, laminated to the front of the neck with the strings running over it between the nut and the bridge.

First, the notes follow a sequence that starts on C and ends on B (C D E F G A B). Second, between these notes you'll find sharps (#) or flats (b). A sharp raises a tone by one fret, and a flat lowers a note by one fret.

And we'll number them will say fret. Number three and then I would count up this is one two. And three and as you can see there's little dots on my guitar. And what what are those well.

From Middle English freten (“to bind”), from Old French freter, from frete (“ferrule, ring”) (modern French frette). The origin of the music senses are uncertain; they are possibly from frete or from fret (“to chafe, rub”).

You could make an argument that since frets don't provide ideal vibrational nodes, the density of the wood affects the way the frets vibrate, impacting the sound of the instrument. Whether this would cause an audible difference or dominate other factors is another matter.
