Understanding Whole Steps on Guitar
Welcome to another lesson from the Guitar Theory Simplified series! In this blog, we’ll cover the concept of whole steps, a fundamental building block in music theory. A whole step is the distance of two frets on the guitar and is essential for understanding scales, intervals, and melodies.
What Are Whole Steps?
A whole step occurs when you skip one fret and move two frets up or down the neck. This concept forms the basis of major and minor scales. We’ll explain how to find whole steps across the fretboard and how to use them in your playing.
