So the formula for the major scale is big step, big, small, big, big, big, small. This scale has emerged as the most popular scale in music, and we don't really need to talk about why. The most common group of notes is called the major scale, and it follows this pattern. We'll choose C in this case just to make it easy to imagine, but because the 12 notes repeat forever, any one can be used as the center.Īnd the second thing to do is to choose some notes that sound good with our tonic. It means everything will come back to that note eventually. So the first thing we'll do is choose one to be our tonic. If we just randomly play 12 notes, it will sound pretty stupid. Within that set of 12, we need to find some relationships to make music. The second "C" vibrates exactly twice as fast as the first. Even though you can hear the difference, they're the same note.
So there is a "C" on the first block here. After that, those same 12 notes repeat forever. For now you can think of them as 12 blocks, or you might think of them as the 12 frets on the B string from 1 to 12.
The major scale is the basic set of notes that most modern music is built from.īefore we talk about building the scale, we've got to cover a few basics.
