G Major Scale

Building G Major

Apply the major scale formula (W-W-H-W-W-W-H) starting from G:

G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G

Notice the F# — this is needed to maintain the whole-step between notes 6 and 7 (E–F#) and the half-step between notes 7 and 8 (F#–G).

G major has one sharp (F#) in its key signature.

G Major Scale

Study the G major scale. Compare it to C major — the only difference is F# instead of F natural.

Play G Major Both Directions

• Play the G major scale ascending and descending
• Play F# (not F natural) at the correct position
