Reply:a C sharp
Reply:Sharp Note. Usually up from a white key to a black key on a piano
Reply:I would assume that # means the same thing as it does in any musical notations - sharp, i.e. a half-tone up.
Reply:#: Sharp


♮: Natural


b: Flat
Reply:It's a sharped note; it means that you raise the pitch by a half-step (one fret, on a guitar).
Reply:No such thing as a C string so the letter is an indication of the chord. The # sign indicates a sharp note which is one fret higher than its usual position and the b sign indicates a flat which is one fret lower than the usual position. The Natural Sign is only used when a note has been sharped or flatted and needs to return to it's normal position within the same measure or between two bar lines OR when a note is sharped in the key signature and the notation requires it to be played in it's usual position. Of course these rules apply to musical notation on staff paper and not in the Tablature notation method.
