I say 7 notes since the 8th is an octave!
With their sharps and or Flats depending on your school of thought.
Why argue?Learn from everyone and teach everyone,the only true way to reach immortality.Leave something good behind.
Side note, saw a great guitar player at the U.V.A last night ,thanks for the Lesson!His name was Bob,he's from Patton.

I don't believe in flat notes. I think On a positive note, It has to be sharp. TO GET IT IN-- AND TURN IT SO IT IS FELT. YES.................
Actually - to inflict more (unrepairable) tissue damage a dull blade is more suited. It does take a greater force to insert it but that is the beauty of it. If you don't get it in right away you can keep tryin.And tryin............
just remember that streaching is an important part of every exercise
I remember about 10 or 15 years ago, 50s and 60s rock was all the rage in the area. Remember all of the cool nicknames we came up with for The Fabulous Flashbacks? (Fabulous Fudgpackers, Fundraisers, etc). At the time, those guys were very popular, and spawned a host of similar bands. After a few years, the patrons grew tired of the same songs and genre. Sure, you can learn "other" songs from the same time period, but eventually the people are going to get tired of it, just as the have in the past.
** This post was not a dis on any band that does time period music; no flames intended**
Hey songsmith, the sitar has 13 strings, a bunch of frets, and each fret has 4 different bending positions. Talk about a tough ass instrument to play. An Indian sitarist has to sit with a master to learn for 7 years before they can play for an audience. Indian music is one of the most complex and oldest musical artforms there is. The songs are based on something called a raga. It's the note structure of the song, usually very complex and it's played before the song starts. Pretty crazy stuff. When they bend the strings, they get many microtones-notes in between notes. Pretty nifty.
One other thing, there is no difference in sharps and flats, they are enharmonic equivalents. The difference is what key signature you are in(i.e. Major and minor scales)
