Gospel Guitar - Major, Minor Scales

The Scales are denoted by Key, for example C Major, and all the major scales have the same pattern. This is the interval formula, W-W-H-W-W-H. W=Whole Note and H=Half note. I have taken 1 to 13 series of numbers to show you the interval(gap)clearly. 

for example take C Major:

C to D  and D to E intervals are whole notes 
E to F interval is a half note
G to A  and A to B intervals are whole notes 
B to C interval is a half note


Equal notes:
A#=Bb
C#=Db
D#=Eb
F#=Gb
G#=Ab

Minor Scales

The Scales are denoted by Key, for example A Minor, and all the minor have the same pattern. This is the interval formula, W-H-W-W-H-W&H-H. W=Whole Note and H=Half note.

A to B interval is a whole note 
B to C interval is a half note
C to D and D to E intervals are whole notes 
E to F interval is a half note
F to g# interval is a half note
