LESSON 12 ( Accidentals )

LESSON 12

Accidentals

We can raise or lower the pitch of any note by one fret using accidentals. (sharps # or flats b )

1. Sharps:
To raise the pitch of a note by one fret ( half step) we use the sharp symbol # .
 

For example: this C is played on the first fret.

 

If we put a sharp in front of it it becomes C sharp and is played on the second fret.
