Chart #1: Major Scale Modes
This chart illustrates the spellings of the major scales and their modes.
The "W's" and "1/2's" across the top represent the intervals between
each of the notes - whole steps and half steps.
The two charts at the bottom show the chord qualities (major, minor,
diminished, etc.) that result from building chords on each of the scale
degrees. This is called "diatonic harmony".
