EVERYTHING in Music Comes From the Major Scale

As I’ve said many times before, everything in music is derived from the major scale.

The major scale consists of 7 notes. If you were to assign “degrees” to each of the 7 notes, you would have a scale formula that looks like this:

1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7

If we were to use the C major scale as an example, which is comprised of the notes:

C – D – E – F – G – A – B

we would have:

1 – C
2 – D
3 – E
4 – F
5 – G
6 – A
7 – B

Every other scale is simply an alteration of the major scale. The alteration for each particular scale is determined using the scale formula.

So if you wanted to apply the natural minor scale formula, you would simply alter the degrees of the major scale as per the formula…

Looking above, we see that the scale formula for the natural minor scale is:

1 – 2 – b3 – 4 – 5 – b6 – b7

Applying that scale formula to the notes of the C major scale yields:

C – D – Eb – F – G – Ab – Bb

This new scale is the C natural minor scale, which is usually just referred to as the C minor scale.

This same method can be done to derive any scale from the major scale. So long as you know the scale formula, you can easily figure out which notes a scale contains.

This Can be Done in any of the 12 Keys

If I wanted to figure out what the notes of the G minor pentatonic scale were, I would simply start with the G major scale, then apply the scale formula. Let’s give it a shot:

G major scale:

G – A – B – C – D – E – F#

1 – G
2 – A
3 – B
4 – C
5 – D
6 – E
7 – F#

Minor pentatonic scale formula:

1 – b3 – 4 – 5 – b7

Therefore the notes of the G minor pentatonic scale are:

G – Bb – C – D – F

• G is 1
• Bb is “b3” (one half-step lower then the note “B”)
• C is 4
• D is 5
• F is “b7” (one half-step lower then the note “F#”)

Pretty simple huh?

Try it out for yourself a few times, and you’ll pick it up pretty quickly.

I like to use this major scale pattern while looking at my guitar fretboard to help me figure this stuff out:

By using this major scale pattern, it is very apparent where each of the scale degrees is located. Now assuming you know the notes on the fretboard (at least on the low E-string, A-string, and D-string), you can easily figure out the new scales.

Knowing the actual notes may or may not be important to you, as a lot of guitarists simply memorize the movable scale patterns, and then use their ear to figure out the rest. However, if you ever did wonder where scales come from, now you know!

This also Applies to Chords

Let’s try to figure out what the notes of an A7 chord are…

First, we start out with the A major scale:

A – B – C# – D – E – F# – G#

1 – A
2 – B
3 – C#
4 – D
5 – E
6 – F#
7 – G#

Next, we apply the appropriate chord formula for a “7” chord (also known as a “dominant chord”):

1 – 3 – 5 – b7

Which yields,

A – C# – E – G

Now you know the notes of an A7 chord!

Again, this works for all keys and all chords.

Extended Chords

Sometimes you will encounter chords that contain numbers that are higher then 7. For instance, you may see:

B9
Dadd11
Ab13

Those are just some examples of types of chords you may encounter, and I will go through the derivation of each one using this diagram:

Since the major scale only consists of 7 notes, all of the numbers that come after the 7 come from the next octave up. So using the C major scale as an example:

1 – C
2 – D
3 – E
4 – F
5 – G
6 – A
7 – B
8 – C
9 – D
10 – E
11 – F
12 – G
13 – A
tuto tomtom one crack two

13 is as high as it goes!

So now that you know that, lets figure out what those 3 funky looking chords above are:

B9

We start with the B major scale:

B – C# – D# – E – F# – G# – A#

Now, we assign a degree to each note:

1 – B
2 – C#
3 – D#
4 – E
5 – F#
6 – G#
7 – A#
8 – B
9 – C#
10 – D#
11 – E
12 – F#
13 – G#

Now we look at the chord formula for a “9” chord, which is:

1 – 3 – 5 – b7 – 9

And then we know the notes of a B9 chord:

B9: B – D# – F# – A – C#

Let’s now try the Dadd11…

We start with the D major scale:

D – E – F# – G – A – B – C#

Now, we assign a degree to each note:

1 – D
2 – E
3 – F#
4 – G
5 – A
6 – B
7 – C#
8 – D
9 – E
10 – F#
11 – G
12 – A
13 – B

Now we look at the chord formula for an “add11” chord, which is:

1 – 3 – 5 – 11

And then we know the notes of a Dadd11 chord:

Dadd11: D – F# – A – G

Not too bad, huh?

Let’s try one last example…

Let’s now try the Ab13…

Wifi hacker unlock code free. We start with the Ab major scale:

Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F – G

Now, we assign a degree to each note:

1 – Ab
2 – Bb
3 – C
4 – Db
5 – Eb
6 – F
7 – G
8 – Ab
9 – Bb
10 – C
11 – Db
12 – Eb
13 – F

Now we look at the chord formula for a “13” chord, which is:

1 – 3 – 5 – b7 – 9 – 11 – 13

And then we know the notes of an Ab13 chord:

Ab13: Ab – C – Eb – Gb – Bb – Db – F

Major Chords vs. Minor Chords (aka. “Quality”)

The way to determine whether a chord is a major chord or a minor chord is by looking at the 3rd degree. This is also known as the quality of a chord.

• A chord that has a major quality would have a 3 in it’s chord formula.
• A chord that has minor quality would have a b3 in its chord formula.

If there is no “m” in the chord symbol, then it is a major chord.

/image-pro-plus-free-download-mac.html. If there is an “m” in the chord symbol, then it is a minor chord.

Some examples:

G: G major chord
Bm: B minor chord
Abadd13: Ab major chord, with an added 13th degree
F#m7: F# minor chord, with an added b7 degree

Get it?

One Important Thing to Keep in Mind when you see “maj” in a Chord Symbol

Now that you know how to create chords using chord formulas, be careful when you see a “maj7” chord.

“maj” DOES NOT have anything to do with the quality of the chord, that is whether the chord is a major chord or a minor chord. Rather, “maj” refers to the 7th degree of the scale.

So

• a Cmaj7 is a C major chord, which also contains a 7
• a C7 is a C major chord, which also contains a b7
• a Cm7 is a C minor chord, which also contains a b7
• a Cm(maj7) is a C minor chord, which also contains a 7

So again, “maj” does not tell you whether the chord is major or minor. Rather, it refers to the 7th degree of the scale.

A “maj7” chord simply just contains the 7th degree of the scale.

A “7” chord contains a b7 degree of the scale.

It’s confusing I know, but that’s the way it is.

Last but Not Least “Slash Chords”

When you see a chord symbol that has a “/” in it, that simply means that the lowest note of the chord is no longer the root. Rather, it is whatever is denoted under, or to the right of, the “/” symbol.

Examples:

C/G: C major chord with a “G” as it’s lowest note (also referred to as a “G in the bass”)
F#11/A: F#11 chord with an “A” in the bass
Bbsus2/E: Bbsus2 chord with an “E” in the bass

Not too bad huh?

Well that was a lot to take in…It wouldn’t hurt to reread this post a few times to really allow it to sink in.

Cool Picture of a Zombie

So that’s that for today. Thanks for making it through this whole post!

As always, have fun!

Diatonic chords are chords that naturally occur within a key. They contain only the notes found in the scale (or key) that you’re working in. For new songwriters this is a must know concept for your chords to sound right.

Looking back, if there was one concept I wish my high school music teacher would have taught me it would have to be diatonic chords. It wasn’t until college that I really understood them and at that point so many unanswered questions about how songs are written and how to know which chords go together were answered for me. If you’re in the same boat as I was this should be a huge help to you. Here we go…

Finding the Chords

There are seven diatonic chords in every key, each chord built from one of the 7 notes in the scale. For example, take the G major scale:

G Major Scale

G A B C D E F#

If you’re playing a song in G major your root chord will be a G major chord. That is, the chord constructed from the root note of the G major scale. To construct a chord you simply stack thirds from the root of the scale. Check out the lesson on triads if that’s new to you. OK, so check out this list of all 7 diatonic chords in the key of G major.

Diatonic Chords in the Key of G Major

See how that works? If you stack thirds from each note in a major scale into triads you’ll have every diatonic chord for that key. Each one of these chords will sound good in that key. We have a few major chords, a few minor chords, and a diminished chord to top it all off. These chord types occur naturally when we construct chords by the notes available in the scale. This pattern of chords holds true for any major scale no matter what key you’re in.

Diatonic Chord Formula for a Major Key

1(Major) - 2(minor) - 3(minor) - 4(Major) - 5(Major) - 6(minor) - 7(diminished)

Check out the list of major scales to help visualize this!

What about those roman numeral chords?

Have you ever been jamming with someone and they call out “go to the 5!”, or looked up chords online or in a songbook and they look like this “I vii IV V”? It’s common grounds to refer to a chord within a key by it’s scale degree using roman numerals. This way it doesn’t matter what key the song is in for you to know what chord to play. Using this naming convention also specifies a certain ‘sound’ since each diatonic chord has it’s own function within a key (see diatonic chord progressions for more info). For example, a IV chord in G major will have that same ‘sound’ as a IV chord will in C# major. When written, major chords are generally upper case roman numerals, and minor chords lower case. Here’s the diatonic chord formula again but using roman numerals:

Since the vii° chord is diminished we add the ° symbol to indicate this.
