Lesson 1:  Scales
Before we talk about scales, you're going to have to learn the musical alphabet:

A B C D E F G

Sharps increase the note by one half-step (a distance of one fret on the guitar).  Flats decrease a note by one half-step.

Now we have:

A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G#
or
A Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab

If you notice, A# and Bb are the same notes.  Many of the notes above are the same.  These notes are called enharmonic.
