Now, turning to the Chords section, you can generate chords within your chosen scale simply by pressing one note.
You can then either play the correct notes, and learn that particular scale along the way… however, if you play the wrong notes you can choose to have it automatically play the nearest correct note in place, or play nothing at all – you simply can’t play a wrong note! Scales & Chords will show you the notes that exist in your chosen key and scale by highlighting them over an octave. The first thing we’ll demo in this tutorial is the simple selection of a key and scale. You can even set it up so that if you play a wrong note, it will play the right one in the context of the key and scale chosen! It won’t go wrong The best part is that that’s all you need to know about them for the moment, because the main point of Scales & Chords is that whatever scale you choose, what you then play next should always sound good. They might sound more natural and familiar in the case of major and minor scales, or more unfamiliar if you choose some of the scales used in music from around the world.
The scale type simply defines what sequence of notes is played around that root note. The simplest is C Major, where the root note is C and you simply play the white notes on your keyboard, up towards the next C. If you are a complete beginner, think of a musical scale as a sequence of notes that you play, one after another. You then get to choose from a list of scales, some well known (like major and minor) and others not so well known (Mixolydian, anyone?). With Scales you choose the key of the song that you want to work in from a menu of 12 (the root notes in an octave). You can think of Scales & Chords in two halves: the left-hand blue Scale area and right-hand green Chord area.
