The Half Note
This is a half note (or minim) worth two counts. Two half notes make up a complete bar in * time and are played on the first and third beats.
In the following example there are two chords per bar.
Here is a timing variation of the previous example using half notes and quarter notes.

Notes on the Fourth String
