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.

What does bars mean in music?

A bar iz 2 linez.

Example:

"you wanted to learn about what's a bar in rap/

And now I'm letn you know, so how hard wuz that?"

That's one bar. A good sized verse has 16 barz, and a full song usually has 2 or 3 versez. Although a verse can also be 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 32, and so on.

No that's a common mistake a bar is not every two lines, that would make a 16 bar verse a 32. A bar refers to the counts in a beat, so when your writing a rap lyris you usually listen to a beat and work with it. The beat has a metranome, a certain time count. i.g 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4. and each bar would be after usually every 2 cycles, i think it use to be four, but its changed now. Im not sure anout that. Any ways that's what a bar is not every two lines like this man above claims. Its a very common mistake by young mc's i use to think that also.
