The sharp has its own symbol and that symbol is. The flat also has its own symbol and it is b. Descending or going lower you would have flats. Assenting or going higher you would have sharps. One half step from the F , is the G note at the 3rd fret.
Look above and notice that G note on the Low E string. After the E note, at the 12th fret, all of the notes repeat. Remember me telling you in the earlier lessons that all notes repeat after 12 frets? Good luck,. Guitar Secrets. Take a look at the image below and notice the notes along the Low E string.
Of course, the first note will be the open Low E string which is the thickest string. Moving along the Low E string, the next note is the F note, located on the first fret. Look below and find the F note on the Low E string. One half step or 1 fret from the F note, will be the F note at the second fret low E string, look at that note. Also notice that high E string has the same notes. No-one's managed yet They all say along the lines of - well, it ain't perfect, but it's better than anything I've come up with.
One stumbling block is that with so many different names - e. Now, notes can share places, but how's that going to work in another system, where by definition each has its own separate name, thus place, I guess? A rather similar question was posed here recently, and I urge the OP to have a look at its answers.
It is a long and complicated story. The main reason is that there was never a committee that debated and designed the theory of music and ensured that it was simple and logical. Instead, it has gradually evolved over a very long period.
There are some aspects that could be improved and simplified but the inertia of the current system is too great. Look outside music: it would clearly be beneficial if the same units of measurement were used in all countries rather than feet, miles, pints, etc in some countries and metres, kilometres, litres, etc in others.
On the note names, a large part of the answer is that a very large proportion of music in all genres is wholly or mostly restricted to one 7 note key at one time. Think of the song Doe A Deer which uses just 7 notes. When you are restricted to one key, 7 notes is enough. If we switched to your 12 letter system, you would need to learn odd gaps in the scales. Some music, 12 tone music, would get simpler but most would get more complex. It's basically just the way it happened historically - we came up with the idea of a 7-note scale being something that sounded good before we came up with the idea of all possible 7-note scales living within a note 'super-scale'.
It can make things easier when you're dealing with pieces of music that actually stick rigidly to the 7-note scale. But once you move away from that 7-note scale in your composition, of course the presumption of a 7-note scale just makes things more awkward. Neither do I, and when I make or play music, I don't think about note names or sharps and flats at all - I don't find it useful.
The only time I use those terms is when I'm talking to someone else about music because, for historical reasons, it has become 'the common language' of music. In this sense, it's a bit like a natural language like English - it isn't necessarily the only logical way to express ideas - it's just one way to express ideas that has evolved through various accidents of history. We then fill in the gaps evenly so that the system is fully symmetric, and that leads to 12 tones.
But each key is a subset of 7 of them primarily. WHY is harder. And it's going to be hard to explain to a musical newbie in any useful way. Yes, it's to do with scales and keys. And about being able to stretch an octave with one hand on a keyboard. And yes, it could have gone in another direction all those years ago. But we're stuck with the system. And we're wasting time that would be more usefully spent helping you PLAY music.

Avoid doubling letters — just use one type of C , one type of D , one E , etc. Avoid using 2 types of letter in your scale, like Db and D. To spell your music correctly, first you have to know which scale your music is in. Click here to see my Key Signatures Lesson. Cb and C would be incorrect. Next figure out the spelling.
The same process works for virtually any type of 7 note scale. Lets take an exotic example — and figure out the notes of E lydian-dominant scale. Figure out the spelling. The note letters have to go up one at time in step — no matter what.
