guitar notes: basic

The Basics of guitar notes:

Notes are named after the first seven letters in the alphabet. In order, they are:

A - B - C - D - E - F - G

Between any two notes, except B - C and E - F, we also have a sharp and/or flat note.

These are the symbols that are used to denote sharp and flat:

	= sharp
	= flat

If we list the notes, again, and include the sharps and flats, we get: 

A - A#/Bb - B - C - C#/Db - D - D#/Eb - E - F - F#/Gb - G - G#/Ab - A

I've left the sharps and flats off to make the chart easier to read, but that doesn't mean that you should ignore sharps and flats.
