Introduction to Music Theory 2!

Hi. Today I will be telling you something more about music theory. You must have checked my previous post where I explained about sharp notes and natural notes. Today we’ll be talking about flat notes.

I’m still completing this blogger. If you have any questions, you can always mail me at the following email address:

The following is also called a chromatic scale:

A, A#,B,C,C#D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#

The above notes are sharp and natural notes. Please note when you go from the left side of the note to the right side or in musical sense from A to G, you’ll find sharp notes between the natural notes.

However, if you move backwards from G, you’ll get flat notes (the symbol used for flat notes is b) between the natural notes.

So,

G# = Ab

F# = Gb

D# = Eb

C# = Db

A# = Bb

The above music theory will confusing. It was to me when I was learning it. You actually have to sit with your guitar and figure this all out. I’ll be posting a video lesson soon which will make this easier to understand.

The moral of story is G# can be called Ab and Ab can be called G#. This is also for the above notes.

Introduction to Music Theory!

Hi there. Another lesson from me. Today we’ll discussing music theory. Music theory is very easy to understand.

In music the first thing you have to remember is the following alphabets:

A,B,C,D,E,F,G.

These are the natural notes in music. This means they’re not sharp or flat. Always remember that except B and E, you’ll have sharp of all the notes. The symbol used for sharp is #

So let’s revise the above notes again as the following:

A, A#,B,C,C#D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#

The above can also be called as keys. If you count them, you’ll notice that they’re 12. These are twelve keys in music. This means, that there are twelve scales in music. This is true for anything. Please note you’ll need to know this no matter which instrument you learn. You can sing in twelve different scales.

This is true for all musical instruments such as, piano, violin, guitar, harmonica etc. So this is very important.

It would be good if you can remember all these keys and It would be beneficial if you memorize them.

That’s all for now. I’ll post another lesson soon and will give the complete knowledge of music theory.
