is it me or all your flats are b in the video?

[thepianochordbook]

@spike378 The "b" is the symbol used to represent flat. While a true flat symbol looks a little different, a lowercase b is close enough. Most chord charts you find online use a "b" for the flat symbol. In the video the "#" and the "b" are placed above the letter name to which they refer. So the first black note has a "#" over the A and a "b" over the B, meaning the note is A# or Bb.

Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and all the best to you in your musical endeavors.

@patreciaDumbo The sharps and flats are both black keys. Any given black key on the piano keyboard is called by both a sharp and flat name. So, the black key to the right of the key C is called C# (C sharp) and Db (D flat). The key to the right of the key F is called both F# (F sharp) and Gb (G flat). What name you use, sharp or flat, will depend on what scale (or key) you are using. You can watch video #2 to learn about scales. Thanks for watching. I hope this answers your question.

@vuurkippie It seems like you may be talking about the same thing. In this video I cover the notes from A to the next A an octave above. If I started on the C note and went to the next C an octave above I would end up with the letter combination that you described. So, it is not any different. You are just starting on a different note. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and all the best to you on your musical journey!
