![]() ![]() The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of F to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of E to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of D to another key. The following table show notes involved when transposing from the key of C to another key. The following tables includes diatonic notes in a specific scale and can used as a reference every time you want to change from a key to another key. Reference – diatonic notes (specific keys) Go to the seventh row and the sixth column and you find A. Go to the third row and the fifth column and you find F#.Ĭhange the tone C# in the key of A to the same tone in the key of F: In the third row from the bottom and sixth column you find C# in the key of A. Go to the fifth row and the fifth column and you find G.Ĭhange the tone G# in the key of E to the key of D: In the fifth row and fifth column you find G# in the key of E. Here are some instructions how to use it.Ĭhange the tone E in the key of C to the key of Eb: In the second row and fifth column you find E in the key of C. The table is without doubt dense in information (see also the the tables with only diatonic notes below). Instructions can be found below the table.ĭb = C# | Eb = D# | Gb = F# | Ab = G# | Bb = A# (to reduce space in the table only one of these are written out) The following table can be used as a reference every time you want to change to another key. The result will be this: D - G - Bm - A - G - D. If we have the chord progressions: C - F - Am - G - F - C in the C Major and want to transpose it to the key of D Major we have to change every chord by two semi-steps. If we want to go from the C Major to the D Major we change all related notes one whole step, which is the distance between C and D. How to transposeĪ transposition is done by changing all notes (or chords) a certain interval. Notice the difference between a transposition and a key change: in the first case the whole song is transcribed to a fit another key and in the second case the key barely change in the song. You can, for example, transpose a piece of music from D major to G major or any other key. There is no right or wrong right now, just improvise and have fun.In music, transposing, means moving notes or chords from one key to another. ![]() Get these basic shapes under your fingers and start using them in your playing. If you have access to a recorder or sequencer, you should record or program an A chord and practice your A major scale over an A major chord. If you only practice these scales going up, you will really limit your musical ability and self expression. It is important that you play the scale up and down. Move these major scale shapes around as much as you can and experiment in different keys. So, if I started these shapes on the 7th fret of the low E string instead of the 5th fret, they would all become B major scales. Whatever note you start on becomes the root of the scale. That means that you are not limited to just starting these scales on the 5th fret. You should realize that these scales are movable. Here is the tab and a scale diagram for the third shape starting with your pinky.ĭownload the tab for the third major scale shape here. That might make memorizing this shape a bit easier for you.ĭownload the tab for the second major scale shape here. Think about this scale shape as being only three string patterns instead of six individual string patterns. ![]() That means that if you look at the diagram, you will see that the 6th string has the same pattern as the 5th string, the 4th string has the same pattern as the 3rd string, and the 2nd string has the same pattern as the 1st string. This particular shape is a bit easier to remember because you can think about it in string pairs. ![]() Here is the tab and a scale diagram for the second shape that starts with your index finger. (Learn how to read chord diagrams and guitar tabs here!)ĭownload the tab for the first major scale shape here. Your low E string is the one on the far left side of the diagram. The others numbers on the scale diagram indicate which finger you should use for that specific note. The 5 to the left of the scale diagram indicates the 5th fret. Here is the tab and a scale diagram for the first shape starting with your middle finger. Once you have perfected these scales at a certain tempo, increase the speed about 10 beats per minute at a time. Make sure that every note is clean and clear. Start out slowly, maybe around 70 beats per minute, and work your way up slowly. After you have memorized the shapes, I recommend that you use a metronome or a drum machine while practicing these scales. ![]()
