Lesson four - 3rd string notes G & A + repeat signs
This lesson introduces two notes on the third string,
G &
A.
G is the open string and
A is on the second fret. Note how the stems of notes below the middle line point upwards.

As sections of music often repeat, there are musical signs that indicate where and when to repeat a section, or the whole piece.
Fig 4-2: repeat sign
When you encounter a repeat sign, you either go back to the beginning and repeat the whole section as in
fig 4-2, or begin the repeat from the "
repeat from" sign if one is present as in
fig 4-3.
