Guitar Fretboard Map PDF With Natural Notes In Open-D Tuning

Map of all natural notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) across the entire fretboard for a 6-string guitar in Open-D tuning.

This core set of notes (compared to a chart that has both naturals and accidentals) offers the benefit of simplicity, focus, clarity and ability to visualize fundamental music theory concepts. So if you're a beginner, this is a very good place to start getting familiar with the layout of the fretboard!

Here's a list of highly popular scales that use only the natural notes:

• C-Major
• A-Minor
• A-Minor Pentatonic
• C-Major Pentatonic
• D-Dorian
• E-Phrygian
• F-Lydian
• G-Mixolydian

And here's a list of common chords that can be constructed just from natural notes:

• Major chord
• Minor chord
• Dominant 7th chord
• Major 7th chord
• Minor 7th chord
• Diminished chord
• Half-diminished 7th chord

What this means for you is that if you want to explore those scales or chords and arpeggios within those scales then this single diagram covers them all!

Here's a list of scenarios where you may find map like this to be really helpful:

• Visualize and memorize locations of natural notes on the fretboard.
• Find different chord voicings, inversions or shapes.
• Understand common scales in different positions across the fretboard.
