playing and has no number.

Fret numbering on fingerboard
|
Fret is an metal stripe inserted into fingerboard. But when it comes to guitar lessons, tablatures,
exrcising and etc... word fret actually means the space between two metal strips, not metal strip itself
Each fret of guitar also has number, it makes very easy to write and read guitar music by means of
tablatures (shortly tabs) instead of classical sheet music 1st one is the nearest to the headstock.
(if you see 0 fret numer in guitar tab it means the note lays on open string so you shouldn't push any fret)
