    I've been a musician for over thirty years, and I've never seen major scales explained so well. Great job, sir! I intend to show this to my daughter. :-)

      Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Rozardner Inspiring Chord Reality (probably on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for how to play guitar scales without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got amazing results with it.

    A quick cheat:
    Whereas the key of F only had 1 flat, (B flat), in the key of F#, B is the only note NOT sharped. Then, whereas the key of B flat had 2 flats, (B flat & E flat), now in the key of B, they are all sharps EXCEPT these two!
    This pattern follows through the rest of the keys. Learn the flat keys, & you automatically know the sharp keys! ♡

      @@Somanybeats its a trick to learn only 6 lines here instead of all 13. Highly recommend having the videos chart handy for this . First compare lines of F vs F# but ignore whether its a flat or sharp. Its all the same order of notes. F G A B C D E. what this guy is saying is if F has one flat, F# is opposite, it has 1 normal note( rest are sharp). In other words, if one scale has 4 sharps, the other will have 4 regular notes. Or if 2 flats, its other scale will have 2 regular notes. Compare B vs B flat, E vs E flat etc.

    Another great thing about this chart, column 6 holds all the relative minor scales. (minor scale that uses exactly the notes but starts on a different one to major) e.g.
    C Major > Relative minor = Am
    F Major > Relative minor = Dm
    and so on!
    Very useful for composition and writing songs.

  • @rick4electric
    @rick4electric 4 роки тому +2

    There are twelve notes in music and their octaves. Learning scales by calling each major scale note a whole step, is in my opinion counterintuitive. I prefer to not leave out counting the notes in between. That way I can put my finger on a key and just count 1,3,5,6,8,10,12, and there is my major scale. 1,3,4,6,8,10,12, is the minor scale, etc. This may be simpler for those of us mathematically inclined.
