Now let's build the G Major scale. We're going to use the formula whole whole half, whole whole whole half, starting on the note G. So to go from G to A, that's a whole step, A to B is a whole step, B to C is a half step, C to D is a whole step, D to E is a whole step, and now we have to go another whole step, E to F is not a whole step, we have to Sharp the F to make a whole step so we go from E to F sharp, that creates the whole step, and also from F sharp to G, there's our last half step. So, G A B C D E F sharp G is the G major scale. Now we come to the G Major key signature. Instead of writing a sharp sign in front of every F in a piece of music using the scale of G, we use a key signature. The key signature is the sharps or flats written on the staff in the beginning of a piece of music. The G major key signature has one sharp, F, and tells us to sharp all F notes unless indicated otherwise with a natural sign. Now, let's try to play the G Major scale. To do this we're going to use the same fingering that we used for the C Major scale in lesson 3, which is 1 2 3, 1 2 3 4 5. Left hand same thing, starting on the G below Middle C, 1 2 3, 1 2 3 4 5.
