: If a song is in F why is the 2nd position B flat and not B? Been wondering this for a while, it doesn't fit the 5 finger rule.
Because of our funny scales. Half a step from B to C and E to F. Notice you don't see any C flats or F flats. So actually the five finger rule does work. And it all sounds so good. Neat huh?, T
