The keys of C, G and F are three of the most common keys in music.įollowing the major scale formula from F results in the notesį, G, A, B♭, C, D, E, F. We can deepen our study of the open position by learning the notes of the F major scale. Knowing how to play the scale of F major will put you closer to mastering the key of F-at least in the open position-And with just a few keys, you can open alot of doors. Same as C major, but any "B" notes are adjusted to "B flat". We know it's a half-step to get back to F here on the Ist fret of the big string. Now let's apply that to the open position, starting with the lowest available note of the F major scale, E. I think that's a very intuitive way to visualize the scale. I like to have my students imagine scales first up and down a single string. That note is called an accidental.Īpplying this sequence of whole and half steps, but starting from F now, we'll end up with the F major scale.į to G is a whole step. In total we have 12 notes in music: those 7 from the C major scale and 5 more any time there was a whole step, we must have skipped over a note. So whole, whole, half whole, whole, whole half. Whole step from A to B and finally a half step from B to C. We know this because the order of steps through the C major scale are: whole step from C to D. The F major scale differs from the C major scale by only one note. That's all of the natural notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B. You should already be familiar the open strings: EADGbe.Īnd, hopefully, the notes of the C major scale in the open position. This is a quick video about playing the open position F major scale.
