Chromatic Scale


Understanding the Chromatic scale
The Chromatic is very simple and easy to understand but it is important and it's very helpful to know. It makes it a breeze to memorize the notes on the fret board, and just know notes in general. The Chromatic scale is a series of 12 notes starting from any note (doesn’t matter which one... You could use D# for all I care) and going up by half steps. Ex. Playing any open string, and preceding to play each note, going up by one fret each time will give you a chromatic scale. But... There’s a catch! Not every note has a sharp/flat between them. This applies to all the notes except between B - C and E - F. There is nothing between B - C and E - F. Your chromatic scale (in C) is:

C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F#/Gb G G#/Ab A A#/Bb B C

Remember the enharmonic notes! D# is enharmonic to Eb. It is indicated with a '/'.

Know it inside and out, as you should. Very important stuff. As short of a section this takes, it is just as important as the others.
