Accidentals and The Chromatic scale

• ACCIDENTALS:

As the octave consists of 12 notes, but there exists only 7 note names, there arises the need for accidentals (i.e. flats and sharps) for being able to name all the 12 notes.


NATURAL:
A note without accidentals is called natural (i.e. without flats or sharps)
For eg. 'G' is natural that is neither flat or sharp.


SHARP:
A sharp makes a note a semitone higher.
For eg. 'G#' will be a semitone higher than the 'G' natural making it sharp.


FLAT:
A flat is the exact opposite of a sharp, it makes a note a semitone lower.
For eg. 'Ab' will be a semitone lower than the 'A' natural making it flat.


Observation: Both 'G#' and 'Ab' are the names of the same notes but in different directions and point of references one is sharp and the other flat.


DOUBLE SHARP:
As the name suggest, this makes a note sharper by two semitones.



DOUBLE FLAT:
This makes a note flater by two semitones.

• THE CHROMATIC SCALE:

A chromatic scale is made up of all the 12 notes within the octave, which means having covered all the 12 semitones from the root up to its octave.
For eg: Open 'E' up to 12th fret 'E'

One should pay attention to the orientation as well, i.e. are you going higher or going lower?
It is essential to keep in mind the direction, a guitar fretboard is arranged chromatically.

For eg.






Ascending using #'s : C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C
Descending using b's: C B Bb A Ab G Gb F E Eb D Db C

Octave

Octave is the interval at which the root note rings at a frequency exactly double than that of the root note itself.

For eg. The open 'E' and when fretted at the 12th is also 'E' but an octave higher. On a similar note if we have 24fret guitar, if we fret at the 24th we would get another octave even higher. Over a single string, we can get 2 octaves.

The octave is divided into 12 smaller intervals, that are the semitones. In practice, one fret distance corresponds to one semitone, making an octave consist of 12 semitones.

The 12 semitone notes are C,C#/Db,D,D#/Eb,E,F,F#/Gb,G,G#/Ab,A,A#/Bb,B and starting over again

A whole tone is equal to 2 semitones, thereby making an octave made up of 6 whole tones.

Notes and Intervals

Hey Folks,
It has been quite some time now that I have been struggling with theory myself, but I pondered awhile back why don't I go through few concepts for the guitar over a blog reinstating my knowledge while I publish, and you might get some juice out of it as well :) So, lets see how well this endeavor goes....

• Fretboard

Lets just have a look at the fretboard first..

• Notes and Intervals

A note is sound with a specific frequency. For example, the high E string of a guitar tuned in concert pitch vibrates at 261Hz, thereby producing the 'E' note.

An interval is the distance between two notes.
For Example. The distance between fretted 1st note of the 'E' string being 'F' is one semitone, similarly the distance between the 1st and 2nd fretted note being 'F#' is also one semitone.

A semitone is the smallest interval, other larger intervals are multiples of this smallest interval i.e the semitone. Intervals are given other names depending on the interval, mastering interval in practice and theory proves to be very beneficial in mastering the modes and scales.

• Interval Names

Here is an example of the intervals from the open 'E' upto the octave 'E'




legend:
m: minor
M: Major

Interval Name	Distance(in semitones)	Example
Unison	0	E-E
Minor Second	1	E-F
Major Second	2	E-F#
Minor Third	3	E-G
Major Third	4	E-G#
Perfect Fourth	5	E-A
Augmented Fourth	6	E-A#
Diminished Fifth	6	E-Bb
Perfect Fifth	7	E-B
Minor Sixth	8	E-C
Major Sixth	9	E-C#
Minor Seventh	10	E-D
Major Seventh	11	E-D#
Octave	12	E-E

More to come soon...

P.S. There might be some issues I may have with alignment and stuff.. but hey being as time goes it will smooth out :)
