Scale Lesson 19
F Major Scale in 7th Position
This is a review from Scale Lesson 10
F Major Scale is built the same way we have built every other major scale. Start on an F and use the formula:
W W H W W W H
We get:
F G A Bb C D E F
Therefore the key of F major has one flat and that is Bb.
F Major Pentatonic
Build by removing the 4th and 7th degree of the any major scale to make it pentatonic. In the case of the F major scale, we would remove the Bb and E. We are left with F major pentatonic:
F G A C D
