I have a question that I have been wondering the reason or music theory as why the frets get closer the higher up the neck you go. Never understood why. Thanks Bob M

I played guitar for years just never had theory or any teaching as to how and why things work. Thank you. I now understand. Bob

It's seems obvious enough, but reminds me of a similar question I had a while back regarding graduated frets vs. equal string pulls. Here's the discussion:
