JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADYes! This! I've been playing for 25 years, and I've only been learning theory recently. It wasn't until I got a keyboard that it made more sense to me. I'll admit that I never put the dedication to learning theory as I did to learn guitar (bit of a regret). Life seems to get in the way of the focus. Better late than never.Thanks for the replys. One thing I want to say to everyone that's saying they're learning theory, GO BUY A KEYBOARD. It doesn't have to be good, seriously the little Casio keyboard so many people have as a kid would even work. The way the notes are laid out in sequence on a keyboard makes intervals, scales, arpeggios, build chords, really anything that's not rhythm related so much easier to understand than a guitar. I'm not saying learn to play the keyboard just learn where the notes are to understand theory concepts, then move them over to guitar. It was a night and day difference for me in understanding theory.
Diatonic is your regular major scale.What's diatonic, first time hearing it
Why it's not just called the Major scale? Kind of strange got all these different names for it.Diatonic is your regular major scale.
A diatonic scale is a heptatonic scale that includes five whole steps (whole tones) and two half steps (semitones) in each octave, in which the two half steps are separated from each other by either two or three whole steps, depending on their position in the scale.
Personally I don't care for the technicalities of how much and I'll probably forget the exact meaning instantly. If you know a diatonic scale refers to a natural major scale and it's notes it's good enough.
Well, natural minor is just as much the diatonic scale, just with a different starting point of the sequence (Major is whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half, natural minor is whole-half-whole-whole-half-whole-whole). As are the other modes of the scale, in fact. So for me, calling it the diatonic scale just emphasizes that it is one scale/sequence of intervalls, from which 7 completely different sounding scales/modes are born, only one of them sounds like THE major scale.Why it's not just called the Major scale?

Thanks guys, I think I got it, but won't remember off the top of my head if someone asked. So what I understand is all scales are 7 notes total and each scale has 7 modes? If that's how many modes there are, I haven't got into them deep enough yet.Well, natural minor is just as much the diatonic scale, just with a different starting point of the sequence (Major is whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half, natural minor is whole-half-whole-whole-half-whole-whole).

Well, lets just say the most important scales of western music have 7 notes. Of course that's not all there is in music in general. But yes, a scale with 7 notes gives you 7 modes, each with a different "tonal center". Im still super early in my journey of really learning them as well, as in, really creating melodies and music with them instead of just talking about them.So what I understand is all scales are 7 notes total and each scale has 7 modes?

I went by the school here and asked some questions, they expect you to know theory, name, read sheet music, and already be able to play and sing the notes. I think you got a lot of the entry requirements ready if you were to attend. I just want to be in a bandWell, lets just say the most important scales of western music have 7 notes.

Modes don't change notes, they change the order of the notes a and therefore the piece of music has a different tone center.I went by the school here and asked some questions, they expect you to know theory, name, read sheet music, and already be able to play and sing the notes.

Btw the modes only change one note in the scale?
It's really just the starting note and then the same order. Go through the lessons on modes ln the intermediate section and you will understandplay the scale out of order? in 7 ways? I'll need some rest first
I think I'm still on the intermediate section, I'll take a look when I feel the need to learn more new stuffIt's really just the starting note and then the same order. Go through the lessons on modes ln the intermediate section and you will understand
