There are 12 possible musical alphabet letters.

A
A-sharp or B-flat
B
C
C-sharp or D-flat
D
D-sharp or E-flat
E
F
F-sharp or G-flat
G
G-sharp or A-flat

Then, it all starts over again at A. Make sense?

You can build a scale (major diatonic, minor diatonic, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, any scale) on any one or all of those 12 notes. You can also build a chord (major, minor, 7th, etc.) on any one or all of those 12 notes.

Diatonic scales are covered in Guitar Fundamentals 2.
