Why are D sharp and C flat, the same note?
81067
Because D and C are a tone apart. A semi-tone up from C is the same thing as a semi-tone down from D.

I hope this is what you're asking for:\n\nA musical staff contains five lines.  The notes on the lines (going from bottom to top) are E, G, B, D, F (easily remembered as every good boy does fine).  There are also notes created between the lines.  Going from bottom to top, these are F, A, C, E (face).  This should all make more sense if you look at a picture.\n\nScales are created when you start on anyone of these notes and continue playing every note above it in order til you reach the octave above the note you started on.

The most common key is C, but that shouldn't matter when you're tuning a guitar. I would reccommend just tuning to a piano, if you have one.

ooh , easy. g sharp, e , d sharp e. later it just become e g sharp chords and e and a chords.

You need twenty-four. Each octave consists of 5 notes with their corresponding sharp plus 2 without, amounting to 12 notes. For example, C-scale: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B. If you want two octaves, double that. A twenty-fifth bottle is needed if you want the third major note (here, the high C).\n\nTry using glass soda bottles or Perrier if you're splurging, but they all should be the same kind to make it easier. And if you find ones with twist-off tops, obviously that would be nice for stopping leaks.

There is a group of verbs called "flat" adverbs, which are not marked with the "ly" ending, but are still adverbs nonetheless.  "Fast" is one of these, I believe; it has been an adverb for hundreds of years.  Interestingly, I suspect that "quick" is also one of these, and has probably only been modified to "quickly" relatively recently in the history of English.

I looked for awhile and all I found was a book. I can play it on piano but to try and explain it is hard. Start off with C,E,G on your right hand and C on your left. Play all of them then just the C. Its actually very simple. \nGood luck!

I can work the 'dr' bit out but I'm lost on the 'b/c' bit? \nPlease elaborate I'm puzzled!

It begins and ends with the same note.

Music for trombone is almost exclusively written using bass clef, rather than treble clef.  That's why the signature symbol looks like a reverse "C".  This clef actually corresponds to the bottom portion of a piano score, which is what the left hand plays.\n\nWhile the bass clef is read differently from treble, they are actually related and connected.  The low "C" on the treble clef (written one line below the bottom of the treble clef) is the same note as the middle "C" on the bass clef (one line above the top of the bass clef).\n\nTo read the bass clef, read the lines from bottom to top as G, B, D, F, and A.  Read the spaces from  bottom to top as A, C, E, and G.\n\nIt's been a pretty long time, but I played the trombone from the time I was about 10 thru college.

In the key of C, you play a scale like this\nLeft:\nC = thumb\nD = pointer\nE = middle\nF = thumb \nG = pointer \nA = middle\nB = ring\nC = pinky\n\nright:\nC = pinky\nD = ring\nE = middle\nF = pointer\nG = thumb\nA = middle\nB = pointer\nC = thumb\n\nOnce you master that thumb-middle cross over, everything else is just a variation on that. Have a ball.

The bass note is uaually the same as the name of the chord.  For example, a D chord contains the notes D, F#, and A.  The D is the bass note.  The only time (well, almost the only time) the D isn't the bass is if it's a "slash" chord.  For example, D/F# (pronounced "D over F#").  In that case the F# is the bass.  That's what the /F# means.\n\nThe other times the root (or chord name) won't be the bass is for inversions, but that's a more advanced topic so don't worry about that now.

Think about what chord you are playing the most.  That would usually be the "tonic chord" and the lowest note of that chord is the name of the key. If you know the name of that chord, that is the name of the key as well.  If you don't know the name, but can hear the same note played on a guitar and piano, then match that note to a key to figure out what the name of the note is.  The white key before a group of two black keys is called C. The white keys are in order c,d,e,f,g,a,b, and then you should be at c again.  The balck notes are the same letters plus sharp if the note is higher than the white key ex. c sharp  or flat if the balck note is lower than the white key- d flat.  b and c and e and f are next to each other without a black note betwen them.  This pattern of balck and white notes on the piano keyboard repeats many times- each repeat is called an octave.

Because it is full of chromatic notes.\n\nChromatic notes are notes outside a key or mode. \n\nFor example, in the key of C major, notes that are diatonic (as opposed to chromatic) are C D E F G A & B. Chromatic notes would be C# D# F# G# & A#.\n\nIf you play the diatonic notes and chromatic notes in a scale, you would get a chromatic scale.\n\nIn music, chromatic doesn't refer to color. \n\nIf you are talking about tone color, tone color is the sound a particular instrument (a piano has a different sound from a sax).\n\nIn the chromatic scale, we are dealing with pitches, not the instrument's sound.

It acutally means an F chord with a G bass.\nThe C/G you mention is also of this form -- C chord with a G bass.  Play the normal chord, but with a different bass note.

We are talking about musical notes, right?  The symbol would be the sharp symbol, #.

Okay my friend, I'm going to explain counterpoint to you in layman's terms. It's really not that hard of a subject. Counterpoint is simply two different and completey seperate things happening at the same time to make ONE SONG! It's most common application is in musical theater, where two different characters are singing two different things on top of each other in the same song. It's still one song, it's not harmony, but it mixes to make one song. Now when it comes to bass lines...The bassist along with the drummer is the rythm section of the band. But say you had two bassists, Getty Lee playing one riff and Victor Wooten playing another. They are playing two different rythms and two different melodies, but they both mesh them into one big rythm. Get it? Ever been to a drum circle? Where everyone's playing different beats but it all meshes, in a way that is counterpoint. However the more accepted defination includes both rythm and melody. So counterpoint on a bass line is mainly used in the studio where a bassist can go back and listen to the recording of what he just played and then play something completely different to complement the original riff! Okay... nuff said.
