I cover the naming of the musical notes on the guitar in GF1 starting here:

The term for notes that are the same pitch, but named differently, is enharmonic. I cover the complete list of all 12 basic chromatic note names in GF1 here:

In general yes, but you've got to be careful with some of those because there are double sharps in certain scales & this is one of them!

When you see an x for example, that is a double sharp & it means two frets higher, instead of the normal sharp that means one fret higher.

So, in this scale, the Gx is G double sharp & it does not translate to Ab, it is A natural.

This is the reason that it is sometimes easier to write certain scales using flats instead of sharps. Or vice versa!

The A-sharp scale is:

A# - B# - CX - D# - E# - FX - GX

But, the same exact notes are much easier to spell & read if you label it B-flat major:

Bb - C - D - Eb - F - G - A

You can see this if you place the mouse over each note. A pick-shaped image with each possible note name pops into view.

Hope this helps, please ask more if necessary. :)
