(1) What we've written is a whole step, so we've got to indicate that this is just a half step away in that fashion, D to E-flat.

(2) Complete range of string pitch combinations Each of the six strings can be alternately tuned as low as a whole step lower and as much as a whole step higher without stressing the neck or the strings.

(3) So, we start on C and then we go up to D-- a whole step.

(4) Generally speaking, dissonant intervals have ratios such as nine to eight for the whole step or seventeen to sixteen for the half step.

(5) And then at the end of the process I have another whole step from B-flat back to C, and that gets me back to my octave in that fashion.

(6) Accidentals are signs added before notes to indicate that they should be modified by a half step or semitone or a whole step or whole tone.

(7) Professor Craig Wright: A-flat. Okay, I need, now, a whole step above A-flat. Hmm, nice and loud please, Edward?

(8) Each of the six strings can be alternately tuned as low as a whole step lower and as much as a whole step higher without stressing the neck or the strings.
