| | Scale (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Microtonal scales are also used in traditional Indian Raga music, which has a variety of modes which are used not only as modes or scales but also as defining elements of the song, or raga. | | | In music, a scale is a set of musical notes in order by pitch, either ascending or descending. | | | A scale is contrasted with a musical mode in one of two ways: |

| | Tonality and Harmony: Scales |
| | The natural minor scale is used for the circle-of-5ths progression in minor until the final dominant chord (with the raised scaled degree 7 as the leading tone) is reached at the cadence. | | | Compositions in the minor mode often raise both the 6th and the 7th scale degrees in ascending melodic line, which results in the ascending melodic minor scale. | | | There is an interval of three semitones or an augmented 2nd between the 6th and 7th scale degrees, which is regarded as melodically awkward. |

| | Major Scale - Guitar |
| | Musical Scales are used in the music of most cultures. | | | After all of those major scales have been demonstrated, the truth is the major on guitar is not played on a single string in most circumstances. | | | The multi-string version is the more common approach to scale playing, however you shouldn't overlook the unique tone quality achieved by playing a scale or melodic passage entirely on a single string. |

| | Bass Lessons .com, Major Scale Based Intervals, by Adam Nitti |
| | If you have ever taken any music classes or studied any music theory books, chances are you have been introduced to the term, "major scale." A scale, in general, is a series of notes that are used together to create a specific sound or tonality. | | | The specific order of these intervals is what gives a major scale its distinctive sound. | | | However, their sounds can be described more specifically with respect to music theory. |

| | The common Western musical scales are of this type. | | | What we have not done, however, is consider the interval between the key note and each of the other notes of the scale, whether played in sequence, called a melodic interval or when played as two notes together to produce a harmonic interval. | | | All the intervals we discussed in the previous section are diatonic because the notes involved belong to one of the major or minor scales; all intervals involving notes that do not belong to one of these scales are called chromatic. |

| | A scale is a series of notes which can be used to express a melody and chords. | | | The most significant degrees in a tonality are degrees I, IV and V. The musical sentences will be built by taking these degrees as a foundation. | | | The melody is similar to the previous melody, but it is not exactly the same any more because some intervals have been modified, altering the characteristics of the melody. |
