1(root) - 0b2 - 12 - 2b3 - 33 - 44 - 5#4/b5 - 65 - 7#5/b6 - 86 - 9b7 - 107 - 11Octave - 12b9 -139 - 14#9 - 15

2/9 are the same just separated by an octave, same goes for 4/11 and 6/13

Extensions for chords

Major Chords can add on 2/9, #4/#11, 6/13, and 7Minor Chords can add on 2/9, 4/11, 6/13, and b7Dominant Chords can add on 2/9, 6/13, and b7 for consonant sounds

4/11 for suspended sounds b9/#9, #4/#11, #5/b6 for dissonant tensions

Important Scales, interval formations, chords they can be used on, chords in scales, and typical scale progressions (Capital roman numerals indicate major chords on scale degree, lower case indicate minor, will also be notated in key of C Major for conve-nience.)

Pentatonic Scales, 5 note

Major Pentatonic - 1 2 3 5 6, can be played on any Major/Dominant chord

Minor Pentatonic - 1 b3 4 5 b7, can be played on any Minor chord

Diatonic Scales(Modes), 7 note

Major Scale (Ionian) - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, Can be played over any major chordsChord Scale

C, D, E, F, G, A, B C Maj(7), D Min(b7), E Min(b7), F Maj(7), G Dom (b7), A Min (b7), B half Diminshed (b7)

Deriving Modes from Major ScaleEach mode is based off of a scale degree in the major scaleIonian Mode - is the major scaleDorian Mode - is a minor scale starting on 2nd degree of major scale and ending on same noteD E F G A B C D = D Dorian, based on notes in C MajorPhrygian Mode - minor scale starting on 3rd degreeE F G A B C D E = E Phrygian, based on notes in C MajorLydian Mode - major scale starting on 4th degreeF G A B C D E F = F Lydian, based on C majorMixolydian Mode - a dominant scale based on 5th degreeG A B C D E F G = G DominantAeolian Mode - The minor scale starting on 6th degreeA B C D E F G A - A Minor (Aeolian)Locrian Mode - a diminished scale starting on7th degreeB C D E F G A B - B Locrian, not used much
