It is a good time now to touch on the basic idea of
Enharmonic Equivalents
All the black notes on a keyboard are called Enharmonic Equivalents,
meaning they have 2 names but only 1 sound
(The black notes are also found on a guitar,
but obviously not as visible as on a keyboard)
Think of it like this:
View the keyboard diagram below & you see the note in-between the notes of
F & G is F#/Gb (F sharp / G flat)
So F sharp (F#) is a little higher in pitch (sound) than F,
& is a little flatter or lower in pitch than G so it is flat of G,
therefore called G flat (Gb)
The G Major Scale has an
F# Note ( Gb ) (F# = F sharp, Gb = G flat)
Observe how the white notes of B & C & E & F are side by side of each other.
(There is no B# or Cb, and no E# or Fb)
Notice that the note of F would be left of the note of F# in our G Major Scale on the guitar.
The Blue numbers shown in the diagram below,
show the notes of the G Major scale on the keyboard
and also along the 6th Bass string of the guitar.
