It refers to where your index finger starts on the fret board. If it is position I (1), your index finger will start from the first fret, and the other 3 fingers will follow, taking the bottom 3 frets (thumbs rest on the back of the neck, so it is not counted).If it is position III (3), your index finger would start from the 3rd fret. When the sheet music indicates a number (0-4), that finger will go down, with your index finger still above the 3rd fret. This is because the number represents which finger, not which fret. So you would be playing on the 4th fret with your middle finger when they tell you, 'Position 3, 2'.

Why is the guitar in the strings family?
because it has STRINGS and freats.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------String instruments have strings stretched over a box or board. The violin, guitar and banjo are string instruments. Sound is made by plucking the strings. (The piano is a percussion instrument because its strings are struck.)The pitch of these instruments depends on the length, thickness and tightness of the strings. The longer the string, the fewer the vibrations and, therefore, the lower the pitch.Tight, thin strings make sounds with high tones. Loose, thick strings make lower tones.
