What is Fingerboard?
[[File:Guitar fretboard closeup.JPG|thumb]] The '''fingerboard''' is a part of most [[stringed instrument]]s, such the [[guitar]] and the [[violin]]. It is a long strip of material, usually wood, that protrudes from the body of the instrument. [[Strings (music)|Strings]] are stretched across the length of the fingerboard, raised slightly by the [[Bridge (music)|bridge]]. The player pushes the strings against the fingerboard to create different [[Note (music)|notes]]. On some fingerboards, there are ridges called [[fret]]s. This kind of fingerboard is called a '''fretboard'''. [[Sticker]]s can be placed on the fingerboard to show the [[chord]]s for each string. Fret stickers were introduced as a way to help beginners learn to play guitar. They have become helpful for music teachers and professionals in their teachings. Stickers are labeled A-G and can be placed to show notes, chords or scales effectively and efficiently. {{music-stub}} [[Category:String instruments]]
