What note are the stings on a guitar tune to.?

The most standardize tuning for guitars both acoustic and electric is EADGBe(the lower note indicating this is the highest) with the A being at 440hz. This is only standard tuning and you can tune your guitar several different ways depending on what kind of music you are playing. My favorite open-tuning(tuning your strings to the note of an open chord such as G, Em, etc) is Em which is EBEGBe or E Maj which is EBEG#Be. For a fuller list of tunings, see trealted link.

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?
