Major ScaleA major scale is a Scale which starts on a chosen note and progresses by a pattern of Intervals which is:
That is, for example the scale of C major:
The interval is the 'gap' between two notes, so between C and D is a whole Tone, between D and E is a whole Tone, between E and F is only a Semitone etc. On a Fretted stringed Instrument, this is equivalent to 2 frets, 2 frets, 1 fret etc. The modern major scale is based on the Ionian Mode.
