![]() This makes up a complete diatonic scale, but each of those notes has some specific functions in relation to the way we use them (WE meaning largely Western composers, but can also be specified here for rock purposes). Say we're working in the key of G Major: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, G. If I say: "They're on their way" I am using the same sound twice but they have two different meanings. They all sound the same, but depending on how it is spoken they are written in entirely different ways. When two notes share a sound, they are called enharmonic equivalents and work a lot like the english equivalent of saying "There, their, and they're". Every scale you know or will ever learn will have some variation of those 7 letters with the 8th, the octave, being the 1st note but "higher" (or lower, pitch is relative). Understanding music is a lot of the same as understanding any language. They are the exact same SOUND but the context is different.
