Music Theory

In studying classical guitar, it is wise to understand the basic mechanics of music theory. The very simple material presented here will start you on the path to grasping the systematic principles of music and will be very helpful to you in the studies to follow.

Intervals

An interval is the distance in pitch between two musical tones. The smallest type of interval is a half-step (or half tone)—one fret on the guitar. A whole-step is the next smallest interval. It is equal to two half-steps—two frets on the guitar. Another common interval in music is the octave. This is eight letters away from another note of the same name (e.g. C D E F G A B C). On the guitar, octaves are 12 frets apart if played on the same string.
