Every note on the guitar has a name, represented by a letter. The names of each of these notes is important; guitarists need to know where to find these notes on their instrument, in order to read music.
The above image illustrates the names of the six open strings on the guitar. The strings, from sixth to first are named E, A, D, G, B and E again.
Note that there are two E strings on the guitar. The thickest string is the bottom E (or low E) and the thinnest string is the top E (or high E).
In order to help you memorize this, try using the accompanying phrase "Every Adult Dog Growls, Barks, Eats" to keep the order straight.
