The pentagram
It is the place where the notes are written and it has five lines and four visible spaces, horizontally, where the notes are written, whether they are placed on the line or in the space. When you start to learn music you start with the treble clef, in which the guitar is also played. All this is also accompanied by measures, key signatures, times, characters, silences, among others.
The clef always goes at the beginning of the staff and is responsible for identifying a line that gives a specific note and the other notes will be determined in relation to it.

Advice
If you have an electric guitar you can use a pick and with it alternate the movements from bottom to top in each of the notes.
If you have a Spanish or acoustic guitar, use your thumb on strings four, five, and six and your index finger on strings one, two, and three.
Take as long as necessary to be able to memorize the notes and positions. You must see that you know how to give the name of each note, where you must step on the neck or fingerboard so that in this way you can produce the note and of course you can identify it on a staff.
