I can't figure out what scale this is from.. could someone help me find out?
Can't find a scale that has

D Eb F# G A Bb

The only scale that I can think of is BbMaj with sharpened 5th :confused:

If that's the case, could someone explain accidentals?

I can't read tab, you could be right.. but if you turn Eb into D# and Bb into A# the only scales/key sigs that have those 3 sharps are B major/G# minor or F# major/D# minor... or if you turn F# into Gb those 3 flats are in Db major/Bb minor and Gb major/Eb minor. Sorry not much help there really.Pass...

An accidental is a symbol placed infront of an individual note which is a sharp or a flat that is not included within the key signature of the piece, or one that is placed infront of a note that should be played sharp or flat indicating it should be played as a natural. So if the key is in G major (one sharp=F#) one bar might want eg F# A F E played, and because the key sig is in G major, all the F's will automatically be F# unless an accidental is placed infront of it turning it in to a normal F, OR they might want an A# in which case a "#" will be placed infront of the A, same as if they wanted it flattened they'd put a "b" infront. Accidentals don't normally change the key normally though. Only sometimes.
Such a long winded answer which could have probably been MUCH shorter but meh...

that scale can be many things, considering the fact that 1- there are only 6 notes in it, 2- there's no more to the song, and 3- there's no key. it looks like it could possibly be a Bb augmented chord, but then again, anything's possible. there's not enough info to make a positive judgement. and why don't you learn to read musicinstead of using those stupid tabs?
