Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales The major pentatonic is used where ever you might find the minor pentatonic. The major pentatonic sounds happier, and more upbeat than the minor pentatonic, but can still be used in a rock context. This sounds good over major chords, and power chords a like. You can use this in a jazzy song even.

What is a major/minor pentatonic scale? The two primary pentatonic scales in common use are referred to as the major pentatonic scale and the minor pentatonic scale. Referring to the major diatonic scale as our reference point, the major pentatonic scale is composed of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th degrees (or do-re-mi-sol-la as Doc put it). The minor pentatonic scale would be the 1st, flat-3rd, 4th, 5th, and flat-7th degrees. Views · View Upvotes.

Guitar/Scales The pattern for any major scale is 2-2-1-2-2-2-1, meaning that the difference from the first note to the second is 2 frets, from the second to the third is 1 fret, etc. The difference in notes can also be called steps, 2 notes being a whole step, and 1 note being a half step.

I don't understand scale positions I know the Maj/Min pentatonic scale positions. I need a clear explanation of why Position#1 for minor pentatonic for A starts on the fifth fret; it has something to do with octaves. How do you go about working out the positions is essentially what I need to understand.

Scales: Just vs Equal Temperament  (and related topics) The Pentatonic (5-note) scales are formed using a subset of five of these notes. The common western scales include seven of these notes, and Chords are formed using combinations of these notes. As an example, the chart below shows the frequencies of the notes (in Hz) for C Major, starting on middle C (C4), for just and equal temperament. For the purposes of this chart, it is assumed that C4 = 261.63 Hz is used for both (this gives A4 = 440 Hz for the equal tempered scale).

Major and minor The minor scale (more correctly called the Aeolian) can be described in two different ways. One way is to consider it as the sixth mode of a major scale, while the other is to call it a variation of the major scale, with the third scale degrees always lowered (or altered) and the sixth and seventh degrees often lowered.he use of triads only available in the minor mode, such as the use of A ♭ -major in C major, is relatively decorative chromaticism, considered to add color and weaken sense of key without entirely destroying or losing it.

Pluck âEm! A Crash Course in Country Guitar The Scales. Despite the melodic complexity of their solos, country guitarists mostly rely on a few choice scales: major pentatonic, the blues scale, and the composite blues scale. The most prevalent of the three scales, major pentatonic, is a five-note scale (1–2–3–5–6) derived from the major scale (1–2–3–4–5–6–7). The scale’s most common fingering is illustrated in Ex. 1, without regard to a specific key (use the root notes in red to help you relocate the scale to your key of choice).

How to Construct Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales This makes it easy to transpose the scale into different keys and gives you a much wider view for learning. The major pentatonic scale is scale degrees 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 of the regular major scale. You'll notice that it's a major scale without degees 4 and 7. When you remove degrees 4 and 7 from the major scale there are no more half steps; for this reason pretty much any note in the major pentatonic scale sounds good over a major chord progression. Since I'm a sucker for examples let's throw a few out there.

Ukulele Scales Part 1: Major Scale The most common scale in all music is the major scale. You’ll hear it all over the place (pretty much every nursery rhyme, Christmas carol and national anthem uses it) and it’s the basis of all chords. The major scale creates a particular pattern on the ukulele. This pattern can be moved up and down the neck depending on which key you play in. The most important note to concentrate on is the root note – the first one played and the last one played.

Scale (music) For instance, in a chromatic scale each scale step represents a semitone interval, while a major scale is defined by the interval pattern T–T–S–T–T–T–S, where T stands for whole tone (an interval spanning two semitones), and S stands for semitone.

Harmonic major scale Like the familiar major, melodic minor, and harmonic minor scales, the harmonic major scale has the diatonic thirds property, which means that the interval between notes two steps apart (e.g. the second and fourth note, or the third and fifth note, etc..) are separated by a major or minor third, i.e. the interval of three or four semitones.

Music Theory/Scales and Intervals The minor scale [edit]. The minor scale, the Aeolian mode, is also a diatonic scale. The C minor scale is C D E F G A B; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.
