About the G major scale
The major scale is the most fundamental scale in Western music theory. Its pattern of whole and half steps (W-W-H-W-W-W-H) produces a bright, happy, and resolved sound. Nearly all of Western harmony, melody, and music theory is built upon the major scale and its relationships.
