• Notes go from A - G • All notes have sharps except for B and E • All notes have flats except for C and F • When to use sharps and flats? • An octave is the interval between any musical pitch
and another musical pitch with half or double of the frequency of the former note’s. Eg. A to A
• Chromatic is moving through every note • A semi-tone (or Half-Step) is one fret, a tone (Or
Whole Step) is two frets

Keys
DEFINITION: The key of a composition is the group of pitches that form the basis of that
composition

• Essentially a recipe with the correct ingredients • You can’t mix all sorts of ingredients or it will taste
bad • A key is made up of 7 different notes • Our music recipe book is a recipe book with 7
ingredients Sometimes you can add extra ‘spices’ to a recipe to make it more interesting eg. Salted caramel is your 7th chord.
![Page 9: Music Theory Mastery - Jamie Harrison Guitar · 2019. 3. 28. · Exercise: Take any key eg. B major and write the Key signature on the staff ... The Dorian Mode 6) The Mixolydian](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60fd8146c771e426df5a77b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Diatonic means ‘in the key of’ • Non-Diatonic means ‘not in the key of’ • Each key has a corresponding ‘minor’ key which
contains the same notes. This is called the ‘Relative Minor’.
• Some instruments are in a particular key eg. harp • The capo or ‘transpose’ function can change the
key of a song while still playing the same notes • A key can change in the middle of a song. This is
called ‘modulation’ eg. Livin’ on a Prayer

Key SignaturesDEFINITION: The arrangement of sharp or flat
signs on particular lines and spaces of a musical staff to indicate that the corresponding
notes, in every octave, are to be consistently raised (by sharps) or lowered (by flats) from their natural
pitches. Essentially a recipe with the correct ingredients

DEFINITION: A scale is any set of musical notes ordered by fundamental frequency or pitch.
A scale ordered by increasing pitch is an ascending scale, and a scale ordered by decreasing
pitch is a descending scale.

Triads
DEFINITION: A chord of three musical notes, consisting of a given note with the third and fifth
above it

• The triad is the fundamental chord, A, B, C etc. • It is made up of the 1st, 3rd and 5th • Can be major or minor • Any further notes are intended only to ‘flavour’
the chord • The root note is the name of the chord • A major triad has a perfect third above the root
note, whereas a minor triad has a flattened or ‘minor’ third

Open vs Closed Triads
• Closed triads have the root third and fifth in order, with one after the other
• Open triads have the same notes, but aren’t necessarily in order, or with one after the other
• Examples of both in video
