Am penta tonic....................starting on the C note.
In the modern (tempered) major scale the interval between the third and fourth, the seventh and octave is always a semitone. In C-major where there are no sharps or flats the third and fourth notes are E and F, the seventh and octave is B and C. That is why there are no sharps or flats. It also occurs in f-major between the 7th and octave
generally, 3 to 5 notes at one time is called a chord. Two notes together is just an interval of some sort, depending upon how close the notes are together on a piano (second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh)
It means the dominant seventh chord. In C major this would comprise of the notes G B D and the seventh F
The notes in the D major chord are D, F-sharp, and A.
The first, third, fifth, and seventh note derived from the C major scale, so: C-E-G-B for a major seventh chord (Cmaj7) and the seventh note flattened to Bb or B flat in the C7 chord commonly used in pop/blues as a final chord but in most classical music to be resolved in F.
There is only a half tone between the third and fourth and between the sixth and seventh notes in a major scale. In minor or any other forms of musical scales, there can be half tones or full tones in many different places in the scale.

Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, and your major seventh is A.
In a major scale, these 3rd, 5th, and 7th steps are equal to a major third, a perfect fifth, and a major seventh, respectively. If you were to lower these (by half a step, or one semitone), you would get a minor third, a diminished fifth, and a minor seventh, respectively.

The ascending melodic minor uses all the same notes as the relative major, except the sixth and seventh note, which are each raised one half tone. The descending melodic minor is the same as the natural minor, in which the sixth and seventh notes are not raised.
Learn the names of the notes on every string and every position of the major and pentatonic scale. Also learn how to make major, minor, fifth, and seventh chords.
The first, third, fifth, and seventh note derived from the C major scale, so: C-E-G-B for a major seventh chord (Cmaj7) and the seventh note flattened to Bb or B flat in the C7 chord commonly used in pop/blues as a final chord but in most Classical Music to be resolved in F.
A "blues scale" consists of the root, minor third, fourth, flatted fifth, natural fifth, minor seventh and the root again. The notes for the C Blues Scale would be C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb and C again.
The circle of fifths is a way of figuring out how many sharps/flats a key. Starting with C major, you go up a fifth and put a sharp on the seventh degree of the scale, which is F sharp - so the key of G major has one sharp. This can be done by going up a fifth from G to D, in D major the F sharp (third degree) is already present and again you add a sharp to the seventh note, C-sharp, thus D major has two sharps. This goes all the way round to C-sharp major, with all notes made sharp. You go down a fifth from C major to F major and lower the fourth degree, making the B a B flat, this F major has one flat. Again by going down a fifth from F is B flat and the fourth note is lowered so you lower the E to E flat, so B flat major has two flats. You keep going until you reach the key of C flat major, with all notes in the scale flat.
A minor scale is the same as its major scale with the third and the seventh notes "flatted" or lowered half a step. For example, the key of C has the notes C D E F G A B C in C minor the E is changed to E-flat and the B is B-flat
The D Major triad consists of the notes D F# and A. In root position, the notes would be placed in that order on the staff with D as the bottom note. This would either be in the first space below the staff or on the fourth line of the staff.
