What is a Half Step?
David Lind

What is a Half Step?

A half step in musical terms refers to one note that follows another note (or one fret difference on the guitar). A and A# are an example of a half step. A whole step in musical terms refers to a difference of two tones (two frets on the guitar). A and B are examples of a whole step. Be careful when figuring whole steps versus half steps. Some musical letter tones do not have these "sharp" tones in between them. For example A and B are a whole step apart, but B and C are only a half step apart (as are E and F).
So basically it this is how it looks: A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#
* (The symbol # refers to a ‘sharp’).
