Ok. Thats a good reason reason to have sharps and flats, to avoid using the same letter for a scale. Makes sense. Kinda. I guess that reason gets thrown out the window when playing some exotic scales that mixes it up;like when u get an F and a F# in the same scale.
I understand that the major scale is all the same throughtout the keys. Only the root is different.
Currently, I have made up some diagrams (maybe I'll put them up later, for other beginners, Im late for work at the moment) that show all the notes on the fretboard from open to 12 and the Cmajor and Aminor scales and all the different variations within them.
There are so many ways to play 1 scale in 12 frets.
I dont know if I should learn them all, or if there is a most popular one and the rest of them are just finger excersises?
