Now that you know what a Note (or Tone) is, you need to know about the groups of these notes called a "Scale" and why it plays an important role in defining the feel or mood of the music.

Great tutorial!  Especialy the website for seeing all the chords and scales.  I have been making beats and messing with the keyboard for about 5 years or so and have never found anything like this, I just figured things out solo...which was tedious...so this is great, thanks.

hey mate, first of all thanks for the tutorial videos.

I just have one question about the scales video, u showed C major and that has quite a happy sound, which scale would u say has more of a sad sound to it? or maybe a serious sound?

Would be much appreciated if you could let me know.

Also, I was thinkin that learning to play piano is quite a key thing to producing so do u think to help me learn I should buy a midi keyboard? and then try and learn more?

thanks mate!

first things first, Beautiful tutorial, NFX i  like your way of describing your tutorials, there not to direct and full of secrets that you have uncovered and there not to misleading either. There perfect for an up-n-comer who is just learning the ropes. keep up the good work!

Hey NFX, the tutorial was great, but I think i would benefit more if you brought some of the scales that are in between the c major, and the pentatonic blues (in A).  i don't know much, but I know that there are a few "middle steps" between such a simple major and the complex blues scale.  I love what you've done overall with this site, though, and I don't wanna sound like a nag, but i want to learn as much as possible, an you are a definite resource.

NFX man you are the greatest! These are great for those like myself that want to learn the basics of the keys. Major props man! Major Props

NFX,
  Just wanted to say thanks for all your tutorials.  I've been making music on my PC for a couple of years now and I've never found a website as helpful and informative as yours.  And you give it all  to us for free!  I can't even describe to you how much your tutorials along with your suggestions for learning scales and chords have transformed my production.  I used to compose my songs by ear just trying to find melodies and chords that sounded good together.  While this can be good practice, it can often be very frustrating and can slow down the creative flow of things.  Aside from that, the process is so random that the combinations rarely "stick" with you.   Now I just choose a key, and try playing different chords and melodies within that scale.  WOW!  REAL MUSIC.  I still have a lot to learn, but I can already tell that this is going to be a wonderful journey.  THANKS SO MUCH AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Nice tutorial 
thanks!

thnx nfx!

you are a great teacher thanx

I can't see the video

Thanks yet again. As long as I've been playing piano I've mostly learned my stuff from sheet music and a good ear. Along the lines I never did learn my scales-that site is a dream! Makes thinking of melodies a lot less complicated. Thanks!

How are u able to see the video?

thank you so much ...

Dude! you are my hero!

There's just one thing in wondering about and i quite dont know how to explain it, but I'll try..
how does the chords work wit scales?..I mean if u have a chord progression thats maybe Cmajor, Dminor, Amajor..how do u after that determine the scale? I hope that someone understood this and if u did please post a reply!
