The Scale We Take For Granted

Try CuriosityStream free for 30 days: curiositystream.com/12tone and use promo code "12tone" We've talked about lots of wild and complicated scales here on 12tone, but honestly, most music isn't made with them. Most music is made with just a handful of scales, and the biggest name in all of western music is unambiguously Major. We've been using it for... well, depends what you count but we've definitely been using it for quite a few centuries at least, and we don't really stop to think about how good it actually is at what it does. But what if we did? Stop to think about it, I mean. What if we did that? Well, I mean, I did. That's what this video is. Enjoy! Or don't. Does anyone actually read these descriptions anyway?
