The thinnest string has the highest pitch and is called the first string, while the thickest string has the lowest pitch and is designated as the sixth string.

Some players use a finger slide to transition between pitches easily. The intervals between most strings are tuned to perfect fourths, except for the interval between the second B string and the third G string, which forms a major third.
