Hi!

I just started out with Guitar fund2 and am currently practicing playing both C and G major scales in the open position.

Out of interest i jotted down the individual notes in both scales and noticed that, in Cmaj, they are indeed:

C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C. Which makes total sense to me.

Gmaj, however, results in these notes:

G - A - B - C - D - E - F# - G, with an F# instead of F. Why is that?? I mean, it sounds totally correct, but I'm still confused ;)

Rgds,

Gert.
