This is my first time charting guitar and I just need to know what do the colors mean for the guitar?
If you’ve ever played Guitar Hero or Rock Band on guitar before, you may have noticed that lower notes seem to be green, and higher notes seem to be orange (or blue on Medium, or yellow on Hard). The green note is indeed supposed to represent the lowest notes in the riff, whereas each consecutive note represents a higher note. Of course, a lot of riffs also include chords, which would be charted as two or three different colors. The same principle applies here, a green/red chord would be the lowest, and a blue/orange chord would be the highest. There’s also riffs that use more than five notes, requiring what’s known in authoring terms as “wrapping.” The RBN docs explain this in great detail, and is generally a really good resource for learning the basics of authoring and how a chart should work.

Thank you so much!
Did you ever played Guitar Hero or Rock Band on guitar before? (or, at least, did you saw someone playing?)

You just possibly can’t author for an instrument you never played. You need to know the dynamics of an instrument to author it: play it for a few weeks, watch YouTube videos of charts, then come back to author it.
