The image you've uploaded is an educational worksheet titled
"Strings On The Guitar" from the
Junior Academy of Music, designed to teach beginners about the strings of a standard acoustic or electric guitar. There isn't a specific "problem" to solve in the traditional sense, but rather it's an informative guide. However, I can explain the content and summarize the key learning points.

🔍 Explanation of the Worksheet
####
✔ 1. Number of Strings
- A standard guitar has
6 strings.
- These are numbered from
1 to 6, where:
-
String 1 is the
thinnest (highest pitch) — located at the
top when looking at the guitar’s headstock.
-
String 6 is the
thickest (lowest pitch) — located at the
bottom.
> 🎯
Note: String numbers go from
1 (thin) to
6 (thick).
---
####
✔ 2. Names of the Strings
Each string is tuned to a specific musical note. From
thickest (6) to
thinnest (1), the tuning is:
| String # | Note |
|---------|------|
| 6 | E |
| 5 | A |
| 4 | D |
| 3 | G |
| 2 | B |
| 1 | E |
So, the full sequence is:
👉
E – A – D – G – B – E
This pattern is often remembered using
mnemonics.

####
✔ 3. Mnemonics to Remember the Order
Two rhymes are provided to help memorize the string order:
1.
"Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie"
→ Each word starts with the note:
E-A-D-G-B-E
2.
"Elephants And Dogs Go Bed Early"
→ Again, matches:
E-A-D-G-B-E
These mnemonics make it easier for beginners to remember the correct tuning.
---
####
✔ 4. How the Guitar Is Played
-
One hand (usually right hand)
strums or plucks the strings using fingers or a plectrum (pick).
- The
other hand (left hand) presses down the strings against the
frets on the neck to change the pitch.
---
####
✔ 5. Visual Diagrams
- The left side shows a
fretboard diagram (like tablature), with six vertical lines representing the strings.
- The top line =
string 1 (E).
- The bottom line =
string 6 (E).
- The right side shows a
line drawing of a guitar, pointing to the neck where the strings are labeled.

🎸 Practical Tip
When tuning your guitar, always tune each string to its corresponding note:
-
String 6 (low E): Start here.
- Then tune up:
A, D, G, B, high E.
You can use a tuner app or reference pitch to ensure accuracy.
