The note Gb can also be F# (since it is both a half step UP from F and a half step DOWN from G). I know this might be confusing, but every black key on the piano has TWO names.
The Gb major and F# major chords are the same physical chord but with different spellings. Because Gb is a black note, it has two names. Now, before going further, we need to talk about an important topic. If that sounds confusing, don’t worry! I’ll put it in beginner terms soon and show you lots of keyboard diagrams to help you out. The G-flat chord is basically just a chord in the family of major chords, made up of 3 notes in what’s called a triad. It is formed the same as any other major chord – by building a major third and then a minor third on top of that. When you see the term “Gb” this is an abbreviation for G Flat. A “b” is a flat sign in music theory. I’ll teach you everything you need to know, and give you diagrams and tips as you’re learning. But don’t let that scare you! G flat is very easy to play. Gb will feel different than white key chords like F, G or A major. It has a beautiful sound, slightly brighter than the other flat chords.
