| Yes, that makes it real easy. Just to make sure people understand this: W = whole step between two notes - such as two individual keys up or down a piano or two frets up or down a guitar. (ex. from C to D, or G to A, or E to F# or B to C#) H = half step - such as one key up or down the piano or one fret up or down a guitar (ex. from C to C# or E to F) | | | |

| As usual, great tutorial from NFX. For anyone having trouble finding the URL to the chord house website the URL is:
www.looknohands.com
One good thing i thought was worth mentioning about the website is that there are ethnic scales in that list too. For example Arabian, Balinese, Hindu... heaps of different cultures. This is particularly good for people who are interested in adding ethnic flavor to their beats. It makes it more interesting and original and sets it apart from the rest of the 'gangsta' sounding stuff out there.
You could figure out those notes for yourself but knowing what to look for and where to start right from the beginning is really helpful.
As an example you may like to check my first beat on my MySpace:
http://www.myspace.com/goldcoastmusic
Listen out for the ethnic sound during the intro and the first half of each verse.
I honestly don't mean to plug, remove the link if you will NFX.
Thanks again! | | | |

| That makes sense sort of. Still not clear on what is the difference between major and minor in relation to chord and scale? | | | |

Hi im just wondering if i was to make a song in c major scale xan i use other major scales within the song as there is nothing that explains if that can happen or would this be wrong. any help would grateful thanks in advance That would actually not work out very well, Sy, because it would cause a lot of dissonance. The notes in the C major scale are not necessarily the same as the notes in other major scales, so they wouldn't agree. Think of them as members from different gangs--if you put gang members from only the same gang together they are going to be cool with each other, but once you bring other gangs into the same room, they are going to fight. Reading some of the comments in this topic, it seems like people understand the notes in the Cmajor scale, but do not necessarily get how to apply that knowledge so they can use other keys. I've studied music theory for years, so if anyone has a specific question they would like answered, I could probably help out. I won't do an awesome video like NFX, but I can probably write it out in a way you could understand. Lemme know if you would like anything answered. | | | |

http://www.ethanhein.com/theory/scalesandemotions.html Yeah, those are pretty accurate descriptions for some of the most popular scales out there. To change the key of any of them for your songs, just place whatever your root note is (Eb, F D, etc.) in place of the C listed on those scales and follow the same interval (distance between notes) to find the appropriate scale. | | | |
