Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Someone please tell me!

If you mean all the open strings (not holding down any)
From the thinnest string (the Bottom) to thickest (top) they are in order:
E (high)
B
G
D
A
E (low)

If you need a way to remember these I use: Everybody Gets Drunk At Elmo's.

???...there are 12 'chromatic' notes from E to E and a range of approx.3 octaves...on a guitar!...which 5 notes are you referring to?...
