Add to favorites The major scale or the Ionian major scale (first of the 7 mode scales)
Well, the scale almost all western music is built on
Scale degrees/intervals, example in C:
C, tonic (1)
D, major second (2)
E, major third (3)
F, perfect fourth (4)
G, perfect fifth (5)
A, major sixth (6)
B, major seventh (7)
Scale formula:
Whole step – C to D
Whole step – D to E
Half step – E to F
Whole step – F to G
Whole step – G to A
Whole step – A to B
Half step – B to C
Aloha, I am new to learning scales, but I am determined to incorporate them into my skill set.
Hi Thomas
In the learning learning scales section the only one am able to download is the c major root position(A str.3rd fret), but none of the others why is that? or what do I need to do for downloading?
