The A Major scale is A B C# D E Gb G#

This video[0] is very very long because it's a kind of reinforcement class for students who didn't get it at first. But I watched like the first half of it and now I finally understand how to build scales.

(Gb needs to be F# there. One reason is that theory can't assume instruments to be equally tempered to begin with; some brasses won't for example.)

That would be F#, not Gb. Enarmonic but not quite the same.
