G♭ (musical note)

G (G-flat) or Sol Bémol is the seventh semitone of the solfege.

It lies a diatonic semitone above F and a chromatic semitone below G, thus being enharmonic to F♯ (F-sharp) or Fa Dièse . However, in some temperaments, it is not the same as F. G is a major third below B, whereas F is a major third above D (a minor third below A).

When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the G semitone is approximately 369.994 Hz. See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency.
