Title: Re: scales Post by: Genesis on November 03, 2005, 04:32:34 AM cheers for the info but im still struggling to understand what a scale actually is There are 12 notes or pitches in music : A, A#(Bb), B, C, C#(Db), D, D#(Eb), E, F, F#(Gb), G, G#(Ab). # reads 'sharp' and 'b' reads 'flat'. They represent the same pitch (Just another name). Any combination of these notes make up a scale. Songs are in a specific key and scale(s). Your key may be any of the pitches above. Each pitch has many different types of scales: major, minor, harmonic minor etc. depending on the notes that make up the scale. For eg: SCOM is in the key of D and E, with a variety of scales used including major, blues, harmonic minor and pentatonic minor. Hope this helps. ;) Title: Re: scales Post by: conny on November 03, 2005, 04:26:44 PM Yeah, I think it's one of the best around actually. Too many ads, but the content is just great.

Hope this helps.? ;) Actually SCOM is in the key of G - with G's relative minor being Em.? ;) Title: Re: scales Post by: Genesis on November 11, 2005, 09:24:30 AM Actually SCOM is in the key of G - with G's relative minor being Em. ;) Yeah, ur right SCOM starts off in G. I stand corrected. To think that all this time i thought it was in D... :nervous: |
