Notes
- # - The number of the chord in that key. The 1st, 4th, and 5th
are the common major chords. The 2nd, 3rd, and 6th are the common minor
chords.
- Step - This is the step from one note to the next note in the major
key. If you know the step you can figure out any scale. On the
piano a .5 step is from one note to the next. On the guitar a .5 step
is one fret to the next fret. On the piano the key of C is all of the
white keys (no black).
