"Hi, I'm Steve Anthony. I'm a musician, actor, singer, based out of New York and Miami, and in this clip, we're going to talk about how to play a guitar in the key of A sharp or B flat. Now, we say A sharp or B flat because those are the same notes. The only difference is going to be depends on how the the music is written that you're reading from, but on an acoustic guitar if this is A, which it is, then we go up a half step or one fret to make it A sharp. And as you can see, if I were to play a B chord, and drop it down a half step, then it's B flat. So in this case what we're going to do is is play a a one, four, five pattern in A sharp or B flat. When I say one, four, five, I'm talking about one being the root chord, which is the B flat, and then the D flat, which is the four, excuse me; it was D sharp. And then E sharp, this is another inversion of the B flat chord. And I'm Steve Anthony, and this has been how to play guitar in the key of A sharp or B flat."
