What is the subdominant of the A- flat major scale?

Db, its pretty easy if you know the subdominant is the fourth note of the scale, the dominant is the 5th so using C it goes up like so C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. If you notice E-F and B-C are the only place in every major scale that there is a one semitone step between them every other is a two semitone step. You can now apply this theory to all major scales. also the only difference between a major and a minor scale is that the third note is flattened in the above case is Eb, which is also called D# however in this instance is called Eb as you have every note in each scale so as there is already a D in this scale you call it an Eb, hope this helps you know and in the future too happy jamming!
