Composers who need to write for Bb and Eb instruments like the clarinet and the baritone saxophone will sometimes choose to write in Gb because it’s easier to transpose, but for most composers it makes little difference.
This key is known for being a kind of sigh of relief, the key that says, “Whew! Thank God that’s over!” It’s how you feel when you’ve gotten through something, painful, hard, or disturbing.īecause both F-sharp and G-flat have the same number of accidentals (F sharp has six sharps and G flat has six flats) there’s little advantage to composers to using one key signature or the other unless they like sharps better than flats, or vice versa. So get ready to look at the F-sharp guitar chord, explore its key’s background in classical and popular music, talk about how it’s played on the guitar, and play through a few of its more popular songs and chord progressions!
Our “Chord of the Week” today is F-sharp, or as its enharmonic equivalent in known, G-flat.
