The Major Keys: C G D A E B F# Gb Db Ab Eb Bb F

To Do :

• Fret all of the guitar chords in the key.
• Practice the scale starting with your index on the Bb on the 5th string.
• Play the Chord Scale (alphabetical chord playing).
• Play the progression I-vi-ii-V7-I (the world's most famous).
• Write your own progression, or riff (from the scale and the chords). Riff-based tunes (intro) , such as Smoke on the Water, or Crazy Train, use the 'scale' or outline/imply chords. You can just play single tones, or mix single notes with chord fragments (or full chordss), etc.

What are the boxes (the gray and white ones) in the scale frame?

On I Love Guitar, we try to stick to this key for most materials.
