Sharps and flats on the guitar. What are sharps and flats on a guitar (guitar # and b)
If you want to understand the guitar and/or learn all the names of the notes on the guitar fretboard then you will find learning what a sharp and flat is will really help you. Nearly every time you play a guitar you will be using sharps notes and chords and flat notes and chords and to understand them and how to find them will save you a lot of time and open up the guitar for you. If you would eventually like to understand guitar theory then you will have to understand what sharp notes are and flat notes are as we use sharps and flats to identify key signatures in guitar music.

Just watched/commented on lesson one. I learned sharps/flats from learning a bit of piano theory, not from playing guitar casually for 20+ years. This also explains it excellently.

[@bigguns845]

GCH Guitar Academy hey i love your videos, I have a question when reading music sheet how is wrtitting when is in a higher octave? closer to the base of the eguitar

[@guitar-academy]

I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, but the names of the notes repeat from the 12th fret up, so for example the 13th fret is the same name as 1 and fret 15 will be the same name as fret 3 etc.

[@bigguns845]

GCH Guitar Academy ok let say i should play on the fret 8 or 10, how it would show on the music sheet? I know on the tabs it would show the number of the fret, but not on the staff music sheet?

[@guitar-academy]

This can't be explained in a simple text box. You need to do some more tutorials about reading music.

[@vibeinc3444]

Good job man

[@guitar-academy]

Thank you . . . .

[@tapart7442]

Thnkyouuuuu so muccchhhj 😍♥️♥️♥️

[@guitar-academy]

you're most welcome 😊 thank you

[@timmanc]

Hi excellent lesson thank you so much. I have been playing for ten months but not explored any theory. Just dipping toe in that area now.. probably a silly question to anyone who knows but I assume the movement of chords to sharp or flat only applies to barre chords and not open? Ie I can’t move the open chord g up or down to create a sharp or flat ?

[@guitar-academy]

Good question . . To find sharp and flat chords you have to use barre chords. You can move open chords if you want, but they create they're set of names 😊

[@ammarsyafiq5175]

May god bless you brader

[@guitar-academy]

thank you very much 😊😃

[@bluehawkster4072]

Thanks

[@guitar-academy]

[@debbie2079]

I learnt alot and I only started 3 months ago

[@guitar-academy]

that's really great 😊

[@shawnsoh726]

Hi sir, ty for the tutorial.it a great vid though! But is there a B sharp note or C flat note to be played since there is no gap? Have been confused bout this...

[@guitar-academy]

It is very complicated, but basically only in certain key signatures. You can only have a B sharp in the key C# major, and you can only have a C flat in the key of Gb major or Cb major. (this is not including minor keys)

[@SS-fs5tw]

my head hurts :( will start with learning note names and then come back for this.

[@c.s.7097]

Excuse my ignorance very very novice here. So a g sharp is the same sound/note as an a-flat? (according to the E string)
My apologies for asking a question halfway through the video. My answer was about 60 seconds later. Thank you for your thoroughness

[@guitar-academy]

Thank you for asking and don't feel bad for asking, it shows that you have genuine interest in the video subject. 😊😃
To confirm the answer, Yes the G# and Ab are the same note, (confusing isn't it)

[@victoregalvan1]

where can i get the printable book and charts

[@prantiikk]

🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@josesbox9555]

Smoked my brain on this one.

[@guitar-academy]

You'll get it . . . :-)

[@josesbox9555]

GCH Guitar Academy I don’t play yet but I played piano as a kid. It’s coming back oddly enough.

[@guitar-academy]

I think that once you've got the feel for music from any instrument, that ability follows you across to any other instrument. You should learn relatively quickly . . :-)

[@sheeda743]

Is the aha moments for me... the thing was this easy along

[@guitar-academy]

that's great . . 😊😊

[@carlosacevedo9392]

How do I play # or b in a open strings???

Thx great lesson but what guitar where you using on the demo

[@guitar-academy]

you're testing my memory there and I had to look through my old videos to see the name in the headstock. I used it in this video too ua-cam.com/video/frstd0tCSfA/v-deo.html it was a Martin Smith, very cheap guitar 😊

[@flindersdixon4974]

[@1p6t1gms]

This is very helpful G.H., but my bar chords, bar chords . . . aargh! :o)

[@Minebron5769]

I understand now

[@guitar-academy]

great stuff 😊😃

[@leascaart]

But how do you flatten a chord? Not a barre chord, but a standard chord, say G, for example? I'm new to guitar. How do I flatten an open G chord? Is it possible?

[@guitar-academy]

No it's not possible without going into barre chords . . Sorry

[@pfotokholikhrotea5379]

Ummmmm..I don't get it the last part that show us to answers the questions

[@andrewpurvis1754]

so, for example, take the E string, is the 2nd fret an F sharp? or is it a G flag? or both?

[@guitar-academy]

+Andrew Purvis The 2nd fret on the 'E' string can be both F# or Bb, but the name given to it depends on the key signature.

[@gabalabouzed]

+GCH Guitar Academy Thanks a lot for your super tutorial
I think you mean Gb

[@guitar-academy]

+gabal abouzed Yep that's right

[@engr.h.mbasirijaz1249]

At 4:52 on screen ......are these all notes on guitar ??? Plz tell

[@guitar-academy]

They're all the notes up to the 12th fret, the notes then repeat from there. You can find the link to the printable chart in the description . . 😊

[@rhumpher9a]

If there is no B# or E#, doesn't that also mean there is no Cb orFb??? Thanks

[@guitar-academy]

This is a difficult one to answer, but basically you can a B# or a Cb and the same with the E# and Fb, but it is dictated by the key signature. This gets a bit complicated and you have just made me realize I need to make a video on the subject . . .

[@rhumpher9a]

GCH Guitar Academy Yeah, I wad under the impression that their is no sharp on the B & E.

[@williamswift9999]

You need to cover the open string notes as well. How do you play sharps and flats for a note where no fret is played? You seem to jump from very basic sharps and flats to chords without covering this aspect.

[@guitar-academy]

William Swift No . . you just jumped to a later video. Go to my other videos and you will find what you need.

[@Metatron9011]

Wow! I think I understood that. Go figure. Guess your just that good. lol

[@punithkumar1842]

So, Is G# is the same as Ab

[@nmchugh1]

It is, but if you start playing a scale and you hitting all the notes in G# then it would be G#.

[@JohnDAvery-tf4td]

Pat 68 - G# major is a theoretical key that doesn't actually exist (although G# minor does). The reason for this is that key signatures can have up to 7 sharps or flats, one for every note in a diatonic major or minor scale. G major already has one sharp; G# major would therefore have to have eight - which isn't allowed.

[@jimpidd5606]

What if the flat is on an open E string ?

[@guitar-academy]

Then you have to go to the string bellow.

[@jimpidd5606]

GCH Guitar Academy which would be D?

[@guitar-academy]

I'm a little confused, do you mean D flat or are you trying to find something else ?

[@jimpidd5606]

What would be the string below then for the open e flat. I'm just trying to figure that out

[@jimpidd5606]

GCH Guitar Academy nvm mind I found out thank you 😊
