Reading the G♯ spelling
Written from G♯, this spelling carries 7 sharps (G♯, A♯, B♯, C♯, D♯, E♯, and F♯), a double accidental (F♯♯), leaving 0 of its 8 tones on plain letter names. Its added chromatic passing tone falls on F♯♯ in this key.
The same piano keys can be written from A♭: that spelling trades this page’s G♯, A♯, and B♯ for A♭, B♭, and D♭. Readers coming from sharp-key charts usually stay here; the flat-side version is at the A♭ Dominant Bebop Scale.
