2-2-1, 2-2-2-2-1.

I guess.

C to E, F, G, A, B, C. All right.

Okay.

So you can create any scale by just starting with the first note, where it'll get its name from, and then doing the same phone number pattern.

Two, two, one, two, two, two, one.

So like we started with E, it would be E, two to F sharp, two to G, one to A, two to B, two to C sharp, two to D sharp, and then finally one back to E and octave up.

Okay, now, confusingly, that could also be called E, G-flat, A-flat, A, B, D-flat, E-flat, E, but whatever, that's fine, that's fine.

So what's a minor key?

We just take the same formula, but we flatten the third, sixth, and seventh notes.

So if C major is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, then the key of C minor would be C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B-flat.

We also were supposed to cover chords.

So I'm just going to be as fast as I can.

Major and minor chords.

Okay.

Long as short as a long, long, long story short as possible.

Jeez.

Okay.

A major chord is a collection of notes in the same scale that sound good when played together.

and a chord is named for the first note in the sequence.
