Music theory explains the building blocks of music. Each pitch is assigned a number, with 8 being the octave of 1. Inversions add up to 9, such as 1=8, 2=7, and 3=6. The “3” is the “Third”, which when combined with letters becomes a musical note. Letters A-G, including sharps and flats, are used in music. A# is equivalent to Bb, known as “Enharmonic”. A Major consists of specific notes with defined steps between them. It is essential to learn the notes on the fingerboard early on. The next step involves learning about chords and scales.
