Need a little help finding cello notes on the fingerboard? Notes on the cello go in half steps, so every finger is a half step note apart from the previous one. While CelloGuide’s note chart includes all notes through fourth position, only first and fourth position and their fingering are marked separately. Use these positions like big landmarks. (Since there’s also upper and lower second, upper and lower third, and half position as well, there are a lot of positions just in this one part of the cello!). Think of it as a starter map to navigate cello geography!
