Mandolin C Major Scale Note Variations

Video Transcript

"So, we've been looking at a lot of major scale sounds, and the first thing we're going to do, we're going to alter one of the notes of the scale, to make it, what you call a dominant sound, or a flat seven, and how we, if you want to logically think about it, we have seven notes in the scale. One, two ,three, four, five, six, six, seven, one. I jumped the gun on that seven there, sorry, but here's your seven. It's down just a half step from the one, if we were going to go backwards down the scale, so that's the note that we want to flat,and what that means, is we want to lower it. This is your blue sound. It's found in your major scale. That's talking about modes, but we're not going to go there right now, but so simply what we're going to do right now, is going to go up the major scale, but flat the seventh instead, of this natural seven, and there's your one, flat the seven."
