A scale is a series of notes. There are many different types of scales, e.g., major scale, minor scale, etc. A major scale, which is the most common and basic, is the series of notes that go… “doe”, “re”, “me”, “far”, “sow”, “la”, “dee”, “doe”. So, a C scale is the series beginning from the C note. An E scale, for example, would be the series beginning from the E note. The notes for a C major scale are: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C. The notes for an E major scale are: E-F#-G#-A-B-C#-D#-E. Therefore the 3 basic chords (I, IV and V) for C key are: C chord (I), F chord (IV), and G chord (V). Whereas, for an E key, the 3 basic chords would be: E chord (I), A chord (IV), and B chord (V).
