  • If you’re struggling with this pick any note. Then from there, go up 1 step 1 step 1/2 step 1 step 1 step 1 step, and finally 1/2 step

  • I’ve always wondered why the major scale seems to be the basis for naming the intervals, but for the actual note names, it’s the minor scale that starts with A (the first letter of the alphabet) and has not sharps or flats.

  • Also id say that the natural scale degrees are 1 2 3 4 5 6 and maj7, because G7 is not Gmaj7. Helps when describing chords.

  • In his A major scale, it should have 6 as F# and 7 as G#. In his F# major scale, he should have 7 as E#. – That’s 3 errors! –

  • So flattening a 3rd is just like taking g# and making it g? I’m tryna understand ????

  • I don’t want to be a dick- this is not wrong- but just use intervals it’s way easier than creating a whole scale for every chord. For a major chord it’s root note (so for a cmajor chord the root is c- it’s in the name) then find a note that’s exactly 4 notes (4 half steps or frets or semitones or whatever way you find is the easiest to think about it) and then another note that’s exactly 7 notes above your root note. Every chord has a formula like this, here are some of them
    Major- R+4+7
    Minor-R+3+7
    Major7-R+4+7+11
    Minor7- R+3+7+10
    Dom7-R+4+7+10
    Sus2-R+2+7
    Sus4 R+5+7
    Sus6-R+9+7
    Dim-R+3+6
    Aug-R+4+8
    (My personal preference) Minor aug- R+3+8
    And so on and so on. Every chord you’ve ever read on every single lead sheet or whatever has this same stuff, sounds like a lot but is actually way easier than rote memorizing like hundreds of individual chords. Know one formula and you’ll be able to play all 12 versions that exist in western music.

    P.S, it’s not R+4 and then 7 again, everything is counting up from the root- so any plus number written here is 6, 7, 4 or whatever higher than the root.

  • Can someone explain how or why, for the A major scale it is the way it is? For 1st its A obv, them 2nd is B but for 3rd note its C#, leaving out the C, so why is it like that? Are there any rules i shpuld follow?

  • Ok, i am so confused, doesnt the A major scale is wrong (according to my knowledge) as it has F natural and doesnt have G#? And what about the major scale intervals? 7? 7 what? and no, to get a minor chord you dont flatten the third, you use your damn intervals and basic knowledge because on C major the chords for D, E and A are already minors, and lets not mention B being a diminished chord (A normal chord except diminished and augmented] are formed using a major third and a minor third which will end up in a perfect fifth, if the major third goes first, then its major, if minor third is first, then its a minor chord)

  • Honestly I learnt this the hard way. By being a stubborn metal player and thinking I only need the minor scale. Nope. Need all of them and ESPECIALLY the major scale

  • Did you smoke a cigarette before this video? Check your A major scale 😀

  • As someone who remembers what it was like to be at square one with music theory, this would confuse me and I’d turn to heroin
