Best Answer

This depends on the number of frets on the guitar. Because of the way the strings are tuned, if a guitar is in standard tuning it has 26 + the number of frets possible notes, so a 22 fret guitar would have 48 possible notes and a 24 fret guitar would have 50.

Do you play notes on electric guitar the same as on acoustic?

yes it is, as long as u have both guitars in the same tuning. the notes on the neck will be the same on any guitar just as long as both are tuned the same. for example say you have an acoustic and electric both tuned in standard, if you play the fifth fret on your acoustics 6th(top) string it would be an A. likewise if you were to pick up the electric (remember it is in the same standard tuning) and play the same note on the same string it would also be an A. is that helpful?


How many notes can you play on the electric guitar?

This is kind of a trick question. Because the answer is only 12. The rest of the notes are just octaves of others. But if you're asking how many frets and strings there are, (6 strings and 22 frets per string) the answer is 132. However, most of those notes are repeated. If you play every note from top to bottom, but not ever repeating the same tone, you would play 46 tones on a standard 22-fret electric guitar, being that the guitar is made up of 3 octaves and 10 half steps. So that would be 46. Even the notes that repeat sound slightly different in the next location, so I prefer the answer 132.
