Major Scales in 'A'


This photo shows the orientation of the diagrams. It is the same thing you see when you look at a guitar facing you, or at a guitar on a TV screen.

In the diagrams below, the red dots are 'A' notes. The diamonds are fret markers.

These scale shapes are movable. To change to the key of 'C,' play the same shapes so that the red notes are 'C' notes instead of 'A' notes.

These five scale shapes, if they are aligned differently, also produce these modes (scale types): Minor, Dorian, Phyrigian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Locrian.
