Well, i am confused with the subject of notes along the guitar neck….so imagine a diagram that has the fretboard diagram (low e on bottom…..high e up top). So, it shows the notes on the low e going e,f,f#,g,g#, a,a#, so on….skipping from b to c…and repeating an e octave at the twelfth fret. Where is the first natural half step….shouldn’t there be one on the diagram? Thanks
Both ‘B to C’ and ‘E to F’ are "natural" half steps. The first "natural" half step would be from the low E string to the first fret, or ‘E to F’. It helps if you imagine a piano because the guitar overlaps multiple times.
Each string repeats its notes at the 12th fret – the 13th fret of the E string is the same note as the 1st fret of the E string. All strings except the ‘B’ string overlap the previous string at the 5th fret – the 5th fret of the E string is the same exact note (and octave) as the open A string. However, the high E begins on the 4th fret of the B string.

The Essential Guide To Guitar Virtuosity is not your typical guitar instructional ebook. It is not a theory book, or how to build guitar solos from scales, rather it is a guitar exercise training ebook.
