If it is a rosewood, ebony or pau ferro board, a good method is a solution of ammonia and warm water. Wet a rag, squeeze it out thoroughly, and use it to scrub the board surface. Dry immediately with a soft cloth. This is effective, and harmless - I've been doing it for 45 years.
If it is any of the above mentioned woods, once a year - after cleaning - apply either pure lemon oil or walnut oil to the board, let it sit for five minutes and thoroughly wipe off any excess. Make sure the label on the oil specifically states "contains no silicones". Now, if it is a maple board, clean it the same way, but oiling the board is unneccesary.
The top bit, called a fret board on a guitar
To fret a guitar properly, press down on the strings just behind the metal fret with your fingertips. Make sure to press down firmly and close to the fret without touching it. This will produce a clear and clean sound when you strum the string.
To prevent fret wear on your guitar, regularly clean and condition the fretboard, use lighter gauge strings, and avoid pressing too hard when playing.
To bar a fret on the guitar, use one finger to press down multiple strings at the same fret. This creates a clean sound when strummed. Practice applying even pressure to all strings for a clear sound.

Action is the distance between the fret board and the strings. Make sure the strings are not too high off of the fret board, as this can make playing much more challenging.
You bar a fret on the guitar with the first finger of your left hand.
By pressing down the strings on the Fret Board and strumming the strings at the base near the metal rod.
Each fret on a guitar represents a different musical note. The key of each fret depends on the tuning of the guitar and the position of the player's fingers on the fretboard.
Ross' Electric Guitar is a fender telecaster blacktop hh with a rosewood fret board. Although I'm not sure what kind his acoustic guitar is.
The guitar action at the 12th fret is too high.
The "body" of the guitar is the part of a guitar that contains the soundhole (in an acoustic guitar) or, more generally-speaking, the larger part of the guitar where the bottom of the neck/fret board and strings are attached...in both acoustic and electric guitars.
