    here goes....

    The D major scale (standard ...including the 1st and 2nd octaves)

    e---------------------------------------------------5---7---9----10-------
    B---------------------------------------5---7---8-----------------------
    G--------------------------4---6---7------------------------------------
    D------------4---5---7------------------------------------------------
    A----5---7-------------------------------------------------------------
    E--------------------------------------------------------------------

    I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER IF I TABBED IT INSTEAD OF GIVIN U THE NOTES.....

    u can figure out any major scale using this formula.....


    T T S T T T S


    T - when we move ahead or backward by 1 note...(like G to A or E to F )

    S - when we move ahead or backward by half a not...(like G to G# or D to D# )


    :)

    u can figure out any major scale using this formula.....


    T T S T T T S


    T -represents a ' tone' - where we move ahead or backward by 1 note...(like G to A or E to F )

    S - represents a 'semi-tone' - when we move ahead or backward by half a not...(like G to G# or D to D# )

    Yep, a major scale is:

    1 Root note
    2 Full step from 1
    3 Full step from 2
    4 Half step from 3
    5,6,7 Full step up from 4,5,6 resp
    8 Half step from 7

    Basically you would form minor scales by knowing relative minors of a particular major scale. When you play a major scale starting from the sixth note what you've played is a minor (natural minor). That is the "relative minor" of the major scale you were trying to play. So if you want to play A minor A is the sixth note in the scale of C - so play the C major scale from note number 6 - i.e. A - and you get Am...

    Relative minor for D major scale is ... well thats homework for u ;)

    Enjoy.
