... I have created this chart which shows all of the notes on a guitar tab in relation to each other and where they sit on a music staff. Hopefully someone will find it helpful.
The open low E string on a guitar is the E below Middle C, otherwise you'll be getting into bass guitar territory.I'm pretty sure you're an octave off. You need to use the treble clef with an 8 underneath it, to indicate that the actual notes are an octave lower than written.
For an example, go to the Wikipedia article on guitar tuning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

Nope. The low E string on a guitar is the E an octave and more below Middle C. The low E string on a bass is two octaves and change below Middle C. (Also known as a fifth above the bottom of traditional piano keyboard.)
I found a picture for you.
thank you. After saying that about perfect pitch i thought i was hijacking the thread and thought it wasn't appropriate. I tend to make a thread about what i want it to be about instead of what it is. I am sorry.There are web sites out there claiming that they can teach perfect pitch. My problem is that pitch itself is arbitrary. Generally, people think of A=440 Htz, but the reality is that there's nothing magical about 440 Htz. Many orchestras deliberately tune to frequencies either higher or lower than A=440. Sometimes significantly so.
So IF you have "perfect pitch", what happens when you hear an orchestra tuned to some other standard? Or if you developed perfect pitch to that other standard, do "normal" orchestras bother you? Just how useful is this skill?
What you want to develop is relative pitch. Be able to recognize the intervals and the chord types. That will be much more useful. And for that, look for "ear training." (The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto offers ear training online. I haven't taken the courses yet, but I'm thinking about it seriously. http://www.rcmusic.ca/four-star-ear-training Maybe after the holidays.)
