Finally realized that scales are built from thirds (thanks #FretboardWizard)
I’m trying to better learn my scales so I went back to Fretboard wizard lessons on how scales are built:
• 1 w 2 w 3 h 4 w 5 w 6 w 7 h 1 => Major scale
• 1 w 2 h 3 w 4 w 5 h 6 w 7 w 1 => Minor scaleAnd how 3rds are built:
• w+w => Major 3rd
• h+w or w+h => Minor 3rdThen I realized that a scale is made up of 3 thirds (1=>3, 3=>5, 5=>7) and so I can now think of scales being built like this:
• Major 3rd + Minor 3rd + Major 3rd = Major Scale
• Minor 3rd + Major 3rd + Minor 3rd = Minor Scale💥 Mind Blow 💥
No more having to remember wwhwwwh and whwwhww 🙂
