How do u play a natural on guitar?

Question

im learning flats, sharps, and naturals but i don't get the naturals, will u explain. The definition is cancel the previous sharp or flat, i don't get that

i already get sharps and flats

Answer 1

It's just an a chord, man.  If the last a was sharp, all a's to come are sharp, unless they put an a with a natural sign in.  Then all a's are natural unless it changes to sharp or flat.

Answer 2

Natural what?  Harmonic? Please specify "natural."

Answer 3

Hey snake....easy !!!!

A natural is the note without the # or the b....

Ex...if you are playing G# and asked for a natural, the note to be played is G

Same with playing Bb....if they ask the natural, just remove the b and play the B..

This is the same for all sharps and flats irrelevant.

hope this helps......

Answer 4

Say you have a measure with an A#. All the other A notes in that measure would be played as an A# UNLESS, you see an A natural note. That means that you would go back to the original note.

Answer 5

A natural means that a note would be flatted or sharped is not. So you play as though the sharp or flat did not apply, moving the finger below or above the fret (assuming that you are playing a fretted guitar) you would normally use.
