A scale is a group of notes that divides an octave.  Which notes are used to divide the octave determine what kind of scale it is. …In case you didn’t know, an octave is the distance between two same notes.  For instance, C (fret 3 of A string) to C (fret 5 of G string) is one octave. > yeah, I know how de A-major scale looks like

Ok, that’s a start anyway.  Look at the C to C octave I showed above. If you were to ascend from the lower C to the higher C with these notes: (C D E F G A B C), you’d have what’s called the "C Major" scale. Here’s a way to play it: That’s the "major" scale. > (I don’t even know what major means… not to mention miner etc.), but > thats about it :-

Major has a number of slightly different meanings depending on if you’re talking about intervals, chords, scales.  But a good place to start is that it mainly has to do with the 3rd note in the scale.  C to E is considered a "major" 3rd, while C to Eb is considered a "minor" 3rd. Using the same C to C octave as before, the natural minor scale ascends the octave with these notes: (C D *Eb* F G Ab Bb C).  Notice that this one has the minor 3rd Eb. It can be played like this: D——3-5-6—– > So if anyone could email/post me a website for a good online lesson on > scales/modes etc. that would be very appreciated! > Thanks > Robert

Try wholenote.com, and look around for lessons on major scales and beginner theory, and then other kinds of scales if you want.  There should be a lot there to get you started. Josh Before you buy.
