Music theory Part one: How scales are formed

Right so you want to learn the formulas of how scales are formed? Scales are all based on distance. The way we measure distance in music is by half and hole steps. By applying certain formulas we can generate scales by starting with just one note. In this article I will show you how to create a major scale, natural minor scale, and harmonic minor scale in any key.

Major scales are compose of a whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, and a half step (W,W,H,W,W,W,H). Let's figure out the key of G Major. Start by writing the notes out in musical alphabetical order starting with G (Musical alphabet= A-G). G A B C D E F G. Now let's apply the formula (a half step is one fret a whole step is two). G^w A^w B^h C^w D^w E^w F#^h G. The distance didn't need to be modified until we went from E to F. The distance from E to F normally is a half step, so we had to sharp F to make it a whole step (sharp=raise a half step, flat= lower a half step). Try this out to figure out the key of F Major. You'll notice that you will need to flat B in order to make the distance from A to B to be a half step. F^w G^w A^h Bb^w C^w D^w E^h F. If you ever forget the formula just measure the distance between the notes in C Major.

The Natural Minor Scale is made up of a whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, and another whole step (W,H,W,W,H,W,W). Let's figure out the key of E minor. E^w F#^h G^w A^w B^h C^w D^w E. Right off the bat we had to sharp F to make it a whole step. You may have noticed that both E minor and G major are composed of the same notes. They just have different starting points. E minor is the relative minor of G major. You can figure out what the relative minor of any key is by going to the 6th degree of the major scale. For example G-1, A-2, B-3, C-4, D-5, (E-6), F#-7. Just write out the scale again starting with E and you have the E natural minor scale. Also If you are playing in a minor key you can figure out any relative major key by going to the 3rd degree of the scale E-1, F#-2, (G-3), A-4, B-5, C-6, D-7. Just write out that scale in order starting from the third degree.

The harmonic minor scale is my favorite. It is composed of a whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, 3 half steps, and another half step (W,H,W,W,H, 3H, H). The three half step jump from the sixth to seventh degrees is what gives this scale it's distinct sound. Let's figure out the A harmonic minor scale. Write out A-A again using the musical alphabet A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A. Now let's apply the formula A^w B^h C^w D^w E^h F^3H G#^h A. The only thing that was modified from the natural minor scale is that the 7 degree (in this case G) was sharped. The harmonic minor is a natural minor scale with a raised seventh degree. You can change between these scales easily and it will sound really good!

Modelling Scale Figures $15.95 Adding a figure to a kit or a vignette can really bring it to life - yet building and painting figures continues to be a source of frustration to many modelers, with the results all too disappointing. However, help is at hand. The aim of this book is to equip the average modeller with techniques to successfully complete a figure from start to finish, and provides clear and easy to follow instructions on how to select, prepare, assemble, modify and paint realistic figures. Aimed particularly at the beginner and intermediate figure modelers, both those starting out in the hobby and those returning to it, it begins with a round-up of the range of figures available, a discussion of scale, and the tools and materials you need to get going. It then moves to exposing general construction and painting techniques, in clear, easy to master, step-by-step tutorials that will increase confidence and develop better technique. Then, using the four most popular historical periods as a framework (Medieval, Napoleonic, the American Civil War, and the modern era), it covers a wide range of individual techniques, such as showing how to paint clothing, body armor, camouflage patterns, flesh tones, weapons and equipment, and how to work in different scales - providing the reader with a veritable arsenal of artistic techniques, almost all of which can be applied to other periods and subjects. Special effects, such as weathering clothing, and adding key accessories and details are also covered in the step-by-step photographic tutorials. If you want to improve your figure modeling skills, it's a book you shouldn't be without, covering everything you need to help you model figures the right way. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Modelling Fallschirmjger Figures $15.95 The German Fallschirmjger were elite soldiers, a factor that continues to ensure their popular appeal today, particularly among modellers. There are many Fallschirmjger figures on the market, in plastic, metal and resin, and in all three of the most popular scales - 1/35, 1/32 (54mm), and 1/15 or 1/16 (120mm). Manufacturers currently produce figures related to every major campaign they were involved in. This is the first book to address the subject of German paratroopers for the figure modeller. All the major items of Fallschirmjger uniform and equipment are covered, with an emphasis on specially designed paratrooper items. Camouflage uniforms were prominent among these units, with several patterns employed, and these are particularly attractive to the figure painter. Clear step-by-step instructions allow the reader to recreate these patterns in miniature with confidence and ease. This book will be of interest to all figure modellers, and to AFV modellers too, with the techniques explained easily transferrable to other scales. It covers painting, superdetailing, and conversion techniques (from simple to advanced), and key aspects of scene creation and setting, such as groundwork, balance, and composition, with projects ranging from single-figure studies to full-scale dioramas. Each chapter develops the modelling techniques in a progressive manner, as well as revealing the chronological development of Fallschirmjger uniforms and equipment in sequence. This highly accessible book makes use of commercially available figures, from different firms and in different materials. Jaume and Daniel's superb presentation skills are brought to the fore in this visually detailed, packed and engaging treatment of one of the most enduring figure-modelling subject areas.
