F♯ Major Scale

The bright, happy foundation of Western music — the do-re-mi scale.

Green marks the root. Switch to Fingering for the standard right- and left-hand numbers — 1 is always the thumb.

The notes

The chords inside it

Stack every other note of the scale and these seven chords fall out. Nobody chose them — they are a consequence of the spacing. Tap one to hear it.
