Like that, all right, here we have this, here is your shoulder clad, and here is your stamp, one sharp. The one sharp is telling you that if the key of G, because G has one sharp and that sharp is F#. Now, if I were to like hand write this and it was like really, really sloppy, you are going to have this. You know, some guys might write really, really fast, instead of like making sure that this is exactly on the F#. Sometimes, they might just write that so do not get confused. It does not mean E# that the sharp is always going to be on the line or whatever. It is that they are referring to which sharp. What I mean by that is that if I am in the key of D, D has two sharps, F and C. So what I do to that sharp sign, I am going to put the sharp sign literally in the spot of the F note and the C note. Okay, does everyone understand that?
So for D you are never going to have this. I mean I left the guys really sloppy at writing but you are never going to have this. Like two sharps for D, you are never going to see something like that ever. If you do just know that, maybe they were just writing it really quick and that is really what they meant. Now that we understand that, check this out, we can move this up, F#. So now, I write a piece of music out. This number here Spike, this note – and this is for everyone – so, this number right here is saying every single time that I see an F# or an F right here, that is telling me that it is always going to be sharpened. Always, always, always, always, always in a piece of music, so what if I was to see something like this then? Well now, it is back to natural. And so what is natural in the piece of music, well check this out.
Here is your F natural and here is your F#. If I am going to keep G right here and I see this note, I play the F#. When I see the natural sign, I play the F natural. Now, here is the question that I get asked a lot though and by the way, I see a lot of questions, I will get to them in a second. All right, this is F # or an F natural, F# you have it, you have it, you have it. Everyone understands this. This line right here is your measure line. What it does is that it literally breaks up the measure into a clean new measure. And so what happens is that this is an F#. It is not an F natural and I get this question a lot from so many students of mine that they say that this note is F natural but does it mean that it remains until this note and the answer is no. The second is you see the measure, it resets itself and goes right back to the beginning. This is same as saying F #. Now, if I were to play to an F right here, is this F# or is this an F natural? The answer is that this is an F natural because the natural sign or sharp or lapse sign whichever note to this remains that way until the next measure.
Okay, yes Pluffin you have it, you have it, you have it. So now, let us do another one. I get asked by people all the time is this, they go this note right here, is this an F# or is this an F natural because the F# I think only refers to this octave right? And the answer is no. This note right here is an F# but this sharp sign is saying every single solitary F that you have in that entire piece of music is always going to be sharp unless it says otherwise. This is F#. This is also F #. Now here is an F natural, which what will that makes this note.
Here is the next question. I am reading this note F natural, right? What note is this then? Okay, is this, you are reading a creasing music, let me give a nice compress on this guys, it will actually help you guys out a lot. We are reading this piece of music and you have this note that says F natural. What does this mean? I feel like it is more like natural and that is wrong. The correct answer is this is F #. Okay, when you see an accidental – that is what this is referred to. I will explain that in a minute. Not really but really, I am saying like this – if I take this note and do an F and I go up and down like this but this note is a natural, this note is now going to be an F# because this natural right here only is saying natu
