Guitar Theory Simplified - Half Steps

Understanding Half Steps on Guitar
In this Guitar Theory Simplified lesson, we explore the concept of half steps, one of the most basic yet important aspects of music theory. A half step is the distance of one fret on the guitar and plays a critical role in scales and chord construction.

What Are Half Steps?
A half step occurs when you move one fret up or down. It’s the shortest interval in Western music, and mastering half steps will improve your understanding of chromatic runs, minor scales, and chord progressions.
