How are some ways to remember guitar strings?

how to
The Unnoticed asked:


I just got an acoustic guitar for Christmas and I’m trying to learn how to play some songs on it but every time it takes me a long time to remember what string is what. So does anyone have any ways of remembering. I need something like the thing for the planets. My very easy method just speeds up names. Something like that but for the order of the strings.
Thanks

    The strings, starting from the lowest, are E A D G B e

    an easy way is to start one of these sentences, Each Ar$e Deserves Good Beatings Everyday

    You could be much more creative than I in creating a sentence that means something to you.

    That would make it easier

    That’s how I was tought. Also remember that every note has a sharp, except for b and e. (breaking and entering.) So the whole thing would be: (*=sharp)

    Aa*BCc*Dd*EFf*Gg* and back to A. is a great and free place to learn.

    its simple just remember the third string is the G-string ;-)
    and that you have two E-strings, the first and the last string…
    one B string which is the second string
    fourth is the D string
    and there you have it!! :-)
