Major Scales

The video tutorial explains the concept of major scales in Western music, focusing on the fixed set of intervals that define them. It details the interval pattern of whole and half steps that all major scales follow, using the E Major scale as an example. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to constructing an E Major scale and emphasizes that the same method can be applied to build any major scale. The video concludes with a brief mention of future lessons on minor scales.
