The Safety Net Approach: Chart #1: Major Scale Modes

This document illustrates the spellings of the major scales and their modes using three charts. Chart 1 shows the intervals of the major scale modes and their Roman numeral and name designations. Charts 2 and 3 display the chord qualities that result from building chords on each scale degree, known as diatonic harmony. This includes major, minor, diminished, and dominant 7th chords. The remaining charts provide examples of these diatonic triads and 7th chords within different major scale arrangements.

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 Roman numerals represent the degrees of the scales. Directly


above the Roman numerals are the names of the modes.

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".
