A# Major Scale

This article is on A# Major Scale.

If you are a musician then you know the importance of Scales, having a proper knowledge of scales helps in playing any instrument easily. For a guitar learner Scales become very important as it helps in playing tabs of any song and also the chords for the song. So, a Scale is a group of notes placed sequentially by their pitch. These group of notes are played individually.

Today we are going to learn A# Major Scale and how do we find out a Major Scale using Major Scale formula. So firstly Major Scale consists of Seven Notes placed sequentially in an octave. We can find any Major Scale just by using a simple Formula.

Formula for Major Scale :- W-W-H-W-W-W-H

Here W is Whole Step which means there is a Fret Gap between two Notes and H is Half Step means there is no gap between two Notes. Let us take a look at how we can find out A# Major Scale.

A# Major Scale

A  A#  B  C  C#  D  D#  E  F  F#  G  G#

I have written down all the notes that are in the music theory, it will be easier for us to now look at scales. So our formula for Major Scale is W-W-H-W-W-W-H.

• In A# Major Scale our first note will be A# as it’s the Base Note.
• Then we have a Whole Step so we have to skip one Fret that is B Note, our next Note will be C Note.
• Next we have a Whole Step so after C Note we have to skip one Note that is C# so our next Note will be D Note.
• Moving ahead we have a Half Step this time we don’t have to skip any fret so after D our next Note will be D# Note.
• Now we have a Whole Step so skipping one Fret that is E Note we get F Note.
• We have again a Whole Step so we have to skip one Fret that is F# Note our next note will be G Note.
• Moving ahead we have one more Whole Step so skipping one note after G that is G# our next note is A Note.
• We have found all our seven notes of A# Major Scale but there is one more step to go lets do it too so, we have a Half Step so without skipping any fret we have our next note as A# Note which is our Base Note.
• We have successfully managed to get our A# Major Scale. So, all the notes of A# Major Scale are as follows :-

A# Major Scale :- A#  C  D  D#  F  G  A  A#

Last note is repeated back again.

Thus by using this way we can easily find any Major Scales we wanted, just apply the same Formula and follow the Notes. Those who wanted to learn all Major Scales and how each scale are found can go through this article Major Scales In Guitar.
