notation in my music...

What does it mean when there is a number with a circle around it above the note? Like a 5 with a circle around it and maybe another number without a circle below it.
Thanks, Candy :)

Hi Candy,

That just means the guitar string you're using. As in the example you gave above, namely: 5, that would be the 5th or a string. The 1st string is E or 1, the 2nd string is B or 2, the 3rd string is G or 3, the 4th string is D or 4, the 5th string is A or 5 and the 6th string is E or 6 in a circle.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards' Trevor M.
