What the difference between an whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale?
One difference between a whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale is that a whole tone scale has 6 notes per octave while a pentatonic scale has 5 notes per octave. Another major difference is that a whole tone scale has all adjacent notes a whole step apart, while a pentatonic scale does not consist entirely of whole steps, and since a pentatonic scale is only defined as a scale with 5 notes per octave, there are many pentatonic scales that are possible.
What is the interval of a scale?
An interval is the distance between two pitches. These intervals are measured in half-steps and whole steps. For example, a half-step is like C to Db. A whole step would be C to D. A major scale is made up of these steps as so: C MAJOR Whole step, Whole step, Half step, Whole step, Whole step, Whole step, Half step. C to D, D to E, E to F, F to G, G to A, A to B, B to C WWHWWWH You may have noticed that from E to F and from B to C it was a half step just as if it were from C to Db. This is because these pitches are simply a half step away from each other.
What does a g major scale contain?
The G Major scale is as follows: G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G It follows the typical major scale pattern of intervals: whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half
What is the pattern of the major scale?
Starting with the root of the scale, the pattern is whole-step, whole-step, half-step, whole-step, whole-step, whole-step, half-step.
Complete the pattern for the major scale?
Whole Whole Half Whole Whole Whole Half

How many notes in a music scale?
It depends on the scale in question: * The diatonic scale (seven notes) * The melodic and harmonic minor scales (seven notes) * The chromatic scale (twelve notes) * The whole tone scale (six notes) * The pentatonic scale (five notes) * The octatonic or diminished scales (eight notes) Then of course there are the Indian Swara scales which have varying numbers of notes too.
What is The interval between the fifth and sixth notes of a major scale?
One whole step.
How many notes are the in the pentatonic scales?
There are 7 notes in a heptatonic scale. Heptatonic scales are the major and all minor scales including the 7 diatonic scales which are those consisting of 5 whole steps and 2 half steps separated by either 2 or 3 whole steps.
Define chromatic and diatonic harmony?
Chromatic Harmony is the use of chords containing tones not found in the prevailing major or minor scale but included in the chromatic scale (which has twelve tones): often found in Romantic Music. Diatonic harmony is created exclusively from whatever melodic resource we choose to create within.
In music there is the whole tone musical scale the sixth note is?
What ever note that is a major second interval below the starting note of the scale.
What is the distance between c and d in music in the whole tone scale and what is it known as?
The nearest distance ascending from C to D is just a single whole step, aka a major 2nd interval. The nearest distance ascending from D to C on the whole tone scale is just a whole step shy of an octave, which would be a minor 7th interval.
In the C major scale what is C to D an example of?
This interval is an example of a tone (as opposed to a semitone).
What is the best scale to practice on guitar for playing metal?
If you're playing in standard tuning, I'd recommend E Minor Pentatonic, that helped me out tonnes. Minor pentatonic is good for old school metal, but if youre looking for a feel more relevant to thrash and death metal, some really cool scales are the whole tone scale, the altered scale, the locrian scale, the diminished 7 arpeggio, and natural and harmonic minor scales are always cool.
What is the opposite of a chromatic scale?
The whole-tone scale could be the opposite. Instead of ascending with half-steps, it ascends with whole-steps, resulting in a 7 note scale (counting both octaves). Ex: C D E F# G# A# B# (C) A B C# D# E# (F) G A
A tritone is...?
a musical interval composed of three adjacent whole tones.
Styles of music that use the pentatonic scale?
Okay, either this is a very deep question, or the inquirer is a little confused about what is meant by the term "mode". If the latter, the quick answer is that the "seven modes of music" aren't typically thought of as having pentatonic scales associated with them. Quite the opposite. It's the pentatonic scales that will have the modes! Unfortunately, your question is a bit nonsensical. But I still think it's a good question because it highlights the confusion that people have when they're learning about modes. What are those damn things? First off, the "seven modes of music". I can only assume you're referring to the seven modes of the major scale: ionian, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian, and locrian. Yes? Well, there are actually many many more modes in music than seven! Every type of scale you can think of (major, minor, harmonic minor, harmonic major, pentatonic scales) will all have modes associated with 'em. Now, modes are very confusing when you first run across the idea. And I think it's because people actually want the answer to be more complicated than it really is. Modes are simply a matter of perspective, they describe different ways of looking at the same thing -- different ways of looking at the same scale. Take the major scale, for example. It's scale tones are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (do, re, mi, fa, so, la ti). The intervals between these tones follow the pattern: w,w,h,w,w,w,h (w=whole step, h= half step). So for the key of C, you set C to be the 1 tone (the root note) and you build the C major scale by following the interval pattern above to give: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. This is a mode! This is the ionian mode of the C major scale. The "C major scale" and "C Ionian" refer to the exact same notes! But what about the other modes? If you take those same notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C) and you just change the root note to the next highest tone -- that would be D -- then you have the D dorian mode. Here's D dorian: D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D. These are exactly the same notes as the C major scale, and the C ionian mode, the only difference is that the first note is shifted. To find the next highest mode (phrygian) you shift the letters again to: E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E. This is "E Phrygian". This same procedure is just repeated to find the remaining four modes. And now you should be thinking, "My god, that's so stupid. The notes are the same for every mode! What evil person decided to give the same exact scale seven different names?!" Well, you should direct your anger at the ancient Greeks. But they had a reason. Here it is: the difference is in the interval patterns. The interval pattern for the ionian mode goes: w,w,h,w,w,w,h. As stated before, this corresponds to the tone qualities: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1. Now the interval pattern for the dorian mode is: w,h,w,w,w,h,w. And here are its tone qualties: 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6, b7, 1. So just by shifting the root note within the same scale, all of the tone qualities are shifted despite the fact that all of the actual "lettered" notes remain the same. This subtle difference has important ramifications for musical harmony. Unfortunately, these ramifications are too manifold for me to describe here, but I'll give you one example: If you were to play C ionian and D dorian by themselves, they would be indistinguishable -- they consist of exactly the same notes. Context is the name of the game! Go to your piano and play a C major chord with your left hand. Then run though the C ionian mode with your right hand (just play the white keys). Should sound quite major-y, happy. Now change your left hand to a D minor chord. And continue with the same notes in your right hand. You should notice that your major-y feeling is gone. You're playing exactly the same notes in your right hand, but the feeling is completely changed to a minor-y sound that can only be described as "dorian"! D dorian is NOT the same as D minor, their tone qualities differ by just one tone. But that makes all the difference. A classic example of the dorian scale in action is Miles Davis' "So What". All of the improvisation is done in the Dorian mode. The song form is AABA, where D dorian is used for the A sections, and there's just a key shift to Eb dorian for the B sections. On to pentatonic scales: In a global sense, a pentatonic scale is any scale that contains only five notes (hence the "penta-"). You could literally pick any five tones you like and call it a pentatonic scale. And you can now easily imagine that there are many 5 tone scales. But most musicians, when referring to "pentatonic scales", are talking about either the "minor pentatonic" or "major pentatonic" scales. The reason is simple: these two scales are the most commonly used pentatonic scales for blues, jazz, pop, etc. To construct the major pentatonic scale you simply remove the 4th and 7th scale degrees from the major scale. This gives: 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 (only five tones). And just as the major scale has a mode for every scale degree, the major pentatonic does too. That makes five distinct modes for the major pentatonic scale. The minor pentatonic has the scale degrees: 1, b3, 4, 5, b7. It turns out that the minor pentatonic can be nicely derived from the major pentatonic, and vice versa. The minor pentatonic is the sixth mode of the major pentatonic scale! Alternatively, the major pentatonic is the second mode of the minor pentatonic scale. I'll let you work that one out for yourself. So hopefully you can see that modes are just a matter of perspective. Modes and scales are one and the same. And the importance of modes is in harmony. They tell you which chords will work with which scale. Or vice versa. Eventually you realize that chords and scales/modes are really the same thing, played differently.
