    Uploaded by

    This document compares and contrasts different musical scales. It outlines that the major scale is the most fundamental and all other scales are defined in relation to it. It then groups scales that contain a major third, like the major scale, mixolydian, and major pentatonic scales, which all have a brighter, happier sound. It also groups scales that contain a minor third, like the natural minor, dorian, and minor pentatonic scales, which all have a sadder or moody sound.
