Exactly! No musician would refer to an A# scale, the same way they wouldn't refer to the note F as E# or a B as Cb (but they would be enharmonically equivalent - the same pitch).

Uh, except for the keys of C# major & A# minor (7 sharps), and the keys of Cb major and Ab minor (7 flats).

no musician would refer to a scale at all unless they're talking about their instruments
right: "i prefer a 35" for a taut butt end but it's ultimately limiting, hence why i'm looking into the dingwall combustions so i can get the fat ass of a black girl on the same neck as the sweet, innocent face of a 14 year old taiwanese boy" wrong: "haha faggt its the sublocrian scale not superlocrian wat r u retrded"

Yes. All the time. In fact tonight I'm going to play scales and modes in Cb major, C# major, Ab minor, A# minor just to piss both you and Hail off. And once I'm done with that I'm going to play entirely in double-sharps. Ha. Victory is mine.

I'm doing it now. A# minor all the way, dude. btw the symbol for double-sharp is a kind of 'x', so that would be Ex Locrian Flat 4. Although now I come to think of it isn't a flat 4 a kind of engine?

What about F# or Gb major? They both have 6 sharps/6 flats. F# major has an E#, not an F. And Gb major has a Cb, not a B. Also E# does appear in C# major chord (that is the V chord of F# minor - key with only three sharps). But I'm not referring to F as E#. I'm referring to E# as E#.

I know what you're saying. We were just trying to help someone out, not confuse them with semantics. I see that G♭major is G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭, D♭, E♭, and F, and F♯ major is F♯, G♯, A♯, B, C♯, D♯, and E♯. Knowing this does not help the original poster out much, but it is accurate.

Scales will not make you a better player. Technique will make you a better player. What I imagine you want to be is a better musician. The secret to being a good musician is to develop an intuitive sense of music and how a given note will interact with other notes and chord progressions.

I question the focus of that statement. Personally I would say that scales form part of the musical landscape, just not a very large part. Technique also forms a larger part of that landscape but it's not the whole landscape either. You can have brilliant technique and are boring as hell to listen to. Musicality is also part of the landscape, but not the whole thing - there are people who are very musical players but are limited by their technique.
What makes you a better player is looking at landscape as a whole, getting a general idea of it, and gradually filling in the details rather than filling in the details hoping to get a general idea of the lie of the land.
