How do you write a G major scale?
The "G" in a G major scale is the starting pitch (also: root, tonic). "Major" tells you the steps you take when playing the scale up to the next G. The distance jumped between notes give a scale its character. A major scale sounds like the do-re-mi scale. Other scales, like minor scales, can sound sad.
The "major" refers to the root chord you play. If it's major (G,B,D), the distance between the G and the B (major third) sounds bright. If it's minor (G, Bb, D), the third is flattened, so it tends to sound sadder.
A major scale is made up of a chunk of 3 whole step notes (G, A, B) followed by another chunk of 4 whole step notes (C, D, E, F#). These two chunks are a half step apart. (B-C).
Whole steps are steps with a key wedged between them. For example, G->A is a whole step because there is one black key between them. A half step has no key between notes. B->C is an example. So is F#->G.

I heard this story about the song, but I'm not sure about its relevance.
Somewhere during his stay in Europe Jimi remained in a hippie commune near the Moroccan city of Essaouira, on the Atlantic coast.
This commune was situated near the remnants of a new part of the city that was built somewhere in the 18th century, but got abandoned due to it being overtaken by the desert. It was litterally half dunes, half buildings ... Which would apply to the title of "Castles made of sand".
Anyone who can back this up ?
