So, we've already figure out that the major and minor scales can be identified with the mood of how they sound (happy vs. sad). And we've practiced playing the very simplest of the Major scales - C Major.
What you should know about scales is that they are created by the amount of space between each note.
If two notes have a note in between them, that is called a whole step (for example, C to D)
If two notes are right next to each other, that is called a half step (for example C to C#)
How much space is in between E and F?
Ok, so now that we know whole steps and half steps, I can reveal to you the formulas for the Major and Minor scales. With these formulas, you can create scales from any key on your keyboard.
Major scale formula:
W-W-H-W-W-W-H
Minor scale formula:
W-H-W-W-H-W-W
So, with this info, you're going to create two 4-bar loops, same as you did for the C Major scale. You are going to do G Major and A minor.
