Scale Finder: Get the Notes of Any Scale Instantly
A scale is just a pattern of steps from a starting note. This finder applies that pattern for you and lists the result.
What is the Scale Finder?
Scales are the raw material of melodies and solos. Pick a root note and a scale type and this tool lists the notes in order, so you can practise, write, or improvise without working out each interval by hand.
