G, A#, B#, C#, D#, E# and Fx (I'm using all scale degrees for this). Fx is F double sharp which means 'F sharp sharp', which is the same as G.

A scale.
The Diatonic scale (most commonly knows as the Major Scale) has 7 unique pitches. For example: C D E F G A B would be considered the notes of the C Major scale. Although traditionally the C would repeat again on top, it is to a NEW note, but simply the repeating of the first (root) note. The chromatic scale contains 12 notes, and it is most easily explained as every note on the piano within an Octave. C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B The Diminished Scale contains 8 notes Example: C C# D# E F# G A Bb And the Whole Tone Scale contains 6 notes Example: C D E F# G# A#
In jazz and blues, a blue note (also "worried" note) is a note sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major scale for expressive purposes. Typically the alteration is a semitone or less, but this varies among performers and genres. Country blues, in particular, features wide variations from the diatonic pitches with emotive blue-notes. Blue notes are often seen as akin to relative pitches found in traditional African work songs. TRUE (apex)
