Fingerboard and frets.
The Fingerboard is the thin piece of wood running down the neck of the guitar. You can effortlessly notice the difference as this wood is different in colour and type than the neck. The Frets are decorated with inlays of pearl in colour on Acoustic and Electric guitars too.

The Fingerboard.
This is a typical guitar Fingerboard, the pearl markers on an acoustic guitar are usually small circled shapes that are inlaid into the face of the fretboard. Electric guitar markers can be blocks and elegantly styled.
These markers help the guitarist to identify the fret numbers and are situated on frets 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15 and 17. The 12th fret scores each string's higher octave for that open note (an open note is a note that sounds out when you play it without positioning your finger anywhere on the fretboard).
Fingerboards can vary in colour and shade of the wood that the manufacturer selected. Fingerboards made from Rosewood have a dark, rich finish, whereas those made from Maple present a soft, yellow finish. Acoustic and Electric guitars have specially designed fingerboards that suit the curvature of your fingertips and enhance playability. Classical guitars and ukelele fingerboards tend to have a completely flat Fingerboard.
Fretting a note.
One of the most important things about playing guitar is knowing how to fret a note correctly. Incorrect finger positioning can result in experiencing sore hands, buzzing notes, and potential injuries over time.
The good news is that fretting a note is very easy, and there are only a few things you need to focus on: Correct Finger Placement, Accuracy, Position and Wrist Positioning. More on this in lesson 2.
Sound Waves.
Guitar sound waves are produced by the strings vibrating inside and exiting from the sound hole (or via the pick-up) once played by the guitarist's fingers or a plectrum. It is this process that causes the strings to vibrate and echo.
The image above displays how the strings vibrate and produce the sound from inside an Acoustic guitar, The vibration from the strings enters the guitar and is then through sound waves released, either from the sound hole on an Acoustic guitar or through an Amplifier's speaker.
The Fingerboard is the primary component of most stringed instruments. It is a thin, long strip of wood adhered to the front of the neck of a string instrument. The strings run over the board, between the nut at the top of the guitar and the bridge at the bottom and over the sound hole on an Acoustic and the pick-ups on an Electric Guitar.
