I need to know the frequency of an open G string and open B string on a guitar. Looking on an online chart, I determined that the G is 783.991 hz and the B is 987.767 hz. I wondered if anyone can verify that I got this right. Thanks.

No, open G is 196Hz and open B is 246.9Hz. http://www.mikfielding.com/Pitch_vs_Frequency.shtml

I suspect you're making the common mistake of thinking that middle C is the A string at the third fret. That's how it's written in music notation, but that's because it's standard to transpose guitar music up an octave (so it mostly fits on the treble clef). Middle C is actually the B string at the first fret. All the notes below that are actually bass clef pitches.

Here's another chart: http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/music/musical-note-frequencies.htm

For some reason the first chart omits open E -- that's 82.4 Hz

You wore a shirt of violent green uh-huh.

















What's the frequency Kenneth?
