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 g# to A interval is a whole note
