guitar scale
G♭ major
The seven-note scale everything else is measured against: two whole steps, a half, three whole steps, a half.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are F♯ major.
Written out
Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.
The step pattern
What is true of it
G♭ major is G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭, D♭, E♭ and F, and back to G♭.
Its steps are W – W – H – W – W – W – H, where W is a whole step and H a half.
It costs 6 alterations to write — near the limit of what a key signature can carry.
On the same tonic, G♭ melodic minor differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 43 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
