The Major Scale on Guitar
The major scale is the most important scale in music theory, and today we will have a brief look at how to play it on guitar.
What Is The Major scale?
The major scale has seven notes, which we label 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.
The first note, note 1 is the root note. This is the note that we start from.
- From 1-2 is a whole step.
- From 2-3 is a whole step.
- From 3-4 is a half step.
- From 4-5 is a whole step.
- From 5-6 is a whole step.
- From 6-7 is a whole step.
- From 7-8 is a half step.
- 8 is the same note as 1, but an octave higher.
Root notes are sometimes referred to as the key.
