at times in some posting b4 u post the chords u guys talk abt some scales like D C or G what that abt can anyone plzzz enlighten me thnx :rockon:
Scales are basically a group of notes put together in an intervallic fashion so as to create a particular mood...or in simpler words a scale is simply a group of notes which sound good together and can be used to make solos You can also have chord scales which are basically a group of chords which sound good together. For Eg.: a C major scale consists of the following notes: C D E F G A B. Thus if u wanna play a solo in the key of C major u can use the C major scale with the above notes. Now how do u create a major scale? We gotta formula for that: full-full-half-full-full-half half intervals-(eg C to C# or F#toG or EtoF) full intervals =2 half intervals Similarly there is a method to derive chord scales: C-Dm-Em-F-G-Am-Bbm So if u wanna make a riff outta a Cmajor scale u can use any of the above chords and make a riff. Eg. C-Am-F-G..something like that I hope that clears it up a little (dont forget to add a rep )
