Our finger moves up a fret towards the body of the guitar.<\/p>\n<h3>Double Accidentals<\/h3>\n<p>We don\u2019t often come across double accidentals in music. If we do, we just do the job twice.\u00a0 The note is raised or lowered a further half-step.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A double sharp (##) means we move up two frets instead of one.\u00a0 (A double sharp sign can also look like this: X)<\/li>\n<li>A double flat (<em>bb<\/em>) means we move down two frets instead of one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So a double accidental changes the note by a complete whole tone (more on this below).\u00a0 A double sharp applied raises the note, and a double flat flattens it.\u00a0 When we play it, it sounds like the next note up (or down) in the scale.\u00a0 So A ## sounds like the same note as B.<\/p>\n<p>Which is strange, because wouldn\u2019t we then expect it to have an entirely different note name?<\/p>\n<p>Well, yes.\u00a0 But standard rules in music theory prevent us from renaming that note.\u00a0 The use of the original note name keeps the special relationship of notes in a scale correct.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">But What If We Want to Cancel the Accidental?<\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to undo an accidental sharp or flat.<\/p>\n<h3>The Bar Line<\/h3>\n<p>The bar line cancels out any accidentals.\u00a0 Sharps and flats only apply to one measure.\u00a0 So if we want a flattened note to be flat in the next measure as well, we have to use another accidental.<\/p>\n<h3>The Natural Sign in Music Notation<\/h3>\n<p>A natural sign cancels previous accidentals.\u00a0 It\u2019s indicated by a ? in front of a note.\u00a0 Sometimes, this sign is also called a kite, because it resembles one.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_203566\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-203566\" class=\"size-full wp-image-203566\" src=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/natural-sign-theory-200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/natural-sign-theory-200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/natural-sign-theory-200-100x76.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-203566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The natural sign (kite) cancels the sharp or flat of a note until the barline.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We use this symbol to cancel an accidental before the end of the bar.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a B flat will revert to normal (B natural) if there is a natural sign in front of it.<\/p>\n<p>Any other identical notes in that measure also then revert to their original status.<\/p>\n<p>And the natural sign is also used to cancel out a flat or sharp in a key signature, and again only lasts for one measure.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Accidentals in Brackets<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes we see an accidental in brackets like this.<\/p>\n<p>(#) (<em>b<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Composers or editors occasionally do this to remind us that there&#8217;s been a change since the last bar.\u00a0 It can be a helpful prompt.\u00a0 But as long as we remember that in music theory, sharps, flats and naturals are always all canceled out by the bar line, we shouldn&#8217;t need a reminder.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">What About Tied Notes?<\/h2>\n<p>Where we see <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/theory-ties\/\">tied<\/a> notes, an accidental sign applies to the second note as well as the first.\u00a0 But the accidental will be shown to the left of the first of the tied notes only.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Pitch, Half-steps, and Whole-steps on the Guitar<\/h2>\n<p>To play an accidental, we need to understand the terms \u2018pitch\u2019, \u2018half-steps\u2019 and \u2018whole-steps\u2019.<br \/>\n\u2018Pitch\u2019 refers to the place each note has in its musical scale.\u00a0 When we play a note, the sound we hear is its <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/four-elements-of-music\/\">pitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/half-steps\/\">Half-steps<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018whole-steps\u2019 can also be called \u2018semi-tones\u2019 and \u2018tones\u2019 (in the UK, for example). They form the building blocks for all <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/scales\">scales found in Western music<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pianos and guitars are instruments where moving a half-step up or down in pitch is visually logical.\u00a0 On the piano, we move our fingers left or right from a white note to a black one.\u00a0 (If there&#8217;s no black key, we simply move to the next white one.)\u00a0 The interval between the white notes and the black notes is a half step.<\/p>\n<p>On a guitar, we move up or down the frets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Half-step = 1 fret on guitar<\/li>\n<li>Whole-step = 2 frets on the guitar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Half-Step (semi-tone)<\/h3>\n<p>On a guitar, a half-step is the difference in pitch between any two neighboring frets.\u00a0 So if we move our finger from the second fret to the third fret, we\u2019ve moved our finger a half-step.<\/p>\n<h3>Whole-step (tone)<\/h3>\n<p>A whole-step is the difference in pitch between three neighboring frets. So if we move our finger from the second fret to the fourth fret (skipping fret three), we\u2019ve moved our finger a whole-step.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Guitar Fretboards &#8211; Which Way Is Up?<\/h2>\n<p>When we move our fingers on the fretboard, we change the pitch of a note either up or down.<\/p>\n<p>Moving \u2018up\u2019 from fret 2 to 3 (ie. towards the body of the guitar) makes our note sound a half-step higher. This sharpens the note.<\/p>\n<p>Moving \u2018down\u2019 from fret 3 to 2 (ie. towards the head of the guitar) makes our note sound a half-step lower. This flattens the note.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Accidentals Sound in Music<\/h2>\n<p>Accidentals can add musical color and emotion to music.\u00a0 Composers use them to move outside the basic notes of a key.<\/p>\n<p>The main key of a piece of music feels like home.\u00a0 We can expect and anticipate the notes and <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-play-c-major-chord\">chords<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But when a composer moves one or more of the notes outside of the expected notes, it adds interest.\u00a0 We may understand more of the emotion of the music.\u00a0 Or we may understand more of the character the composer intends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/ornaments\/\">Musical ornaments<\/a> may use accidentals.\u00a0 And we may find accidentals are used to pull us into a new set of home-base notes (i.e. modulating to a different key).<\/p>\n<p>Improvised music, like jazz, often contains many accidentals.<\/p>\n<p>Accidentals are a powerful musical tool to create mood and <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/long-line\/\">guide the music forward<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are accidentals in music?
