Choose Your Starting Note (Root):    - This will be the first note of your scale. For example, let's use C as the starting note to construct a C major scale. 2. Apply the Major Scale Pattern:    - The pattern for a major scale is: W, W, H, W, W, W, H.    - This means you start at your root note, then follow this sequence of whole steps and half steps to determine the subsequent notes.   Example: C Major Scale 1. Start with the root note:    - C 2. Follow the whole and half step pattern:    - From C, a whole step (W) takes you to D.    - From D, another whole step (W) takes you to E.    - From E, a half step (H) takes you to F.    - From F, a whole step (W) takes you to G.    - From G, another whole step (W) takes you to A.    - From A, another whole step (W) takes you to B.    - From B, a half step (H) takes you back to C (an octave higher). Thus, the C major scale is: - C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C   Tips for Remembering - Whole step (W): Skip one key on the piano, whether black or white. For example, from C to D skips C#. - Half step (H): Move to the very next key, whether black or white. For example, from E to F is a half step because there are no keys between them. By applying this whole and half step pattern starting from any note, you can construct major scales in any key.   ###   My website: www.JohnTeachesGuitar.com  Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/johnmcnicholas  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JohnTeachesGuitar/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnteachesguitar/  Threads - https://www.threads.net/@johnteachesguitar  Mastodon - https://mastodon.world/@johnmcnicholas  TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@johnmcnicholasmusic    John Teaches Guitar Podcast Spotify: https://bit.ly/3KxuMgf  Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RiySfY  RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/529802/rss
