Serious Violinists!!!!!?

Question

What are the notes for the C scale with arpeggios and thirds??? please clearly state the letter of each note. THANKS!!!!!

Answer 1

I'm a Violist, but I think I can help you out (maybe)
for the the C Major scale, the scale is C D E F G A B C, no sharps or flats. For C Natural Minor it is C D Eb F G Ab Bb C, or the relative minor to Eb Major, three flats, with no additional accidentals. C Harmonic Minor is C D Eb F G Ab B(nat) C and C Melodic Minor is C D Eb F G A(nat) B(nat) C going up and C Bb Ab G F Eb D C going down. Harmonic minor is for purposes of harmony and proper chord progression but can be used otherwise, and melodic minor is for melodic use but also can be used otherwise. The C Major Arpeggios (at least of the Flesch scale book) are
1) C Eb G Eb C 2) C E G E C 3) C E A E C
3) C F A F C 4) C F Ab F C
5) C Eb Gb(F#) A C Gb(F#) Eb C &
6) C E G Bb C Bb G E (and to resolve this arpeggio properly) F
The last arrpegio outlines the V7 chord of G, which is the V of C, so it's a V7/V. If you didn't get that, that's okay.
The fingering that I would use, and that I use on the F arrpegios on the C string, would be like this in third position (the position is the same going down on all except for the last arpeggio, which just has the final F at the end):
1) C (1 on the G) Eb (3 on the G) G (1 on D) C (4 on D)
(So quickly, 3rd position means that your first finger is where your third finger would be in 1st position)
2) Same as "1)", but with the E natural
3) C (1) E (3) A (2 on D) C (4)
4) C (1) F (4 on G) A (2) C
5) Same as "4)", but with the Ab
6) Shift to high second with the first finger where B would be on G
C (2 on G) Eb (4 on G) Gb(F#) (1 on D) A (3 on D)
C (extended 4 on D)
7) Shift back up to 3rd with first finger on C
C (1 on G) E (3 or 4 on G - you'll see why you might want 4)
G (1 on D) Bb (3 on D - a half step lower than E - it might be
easier to reach Bb if you play E with 4, but whatever works
best for you is indeed best, but remember intonation if
imporatant for your best)
G (1) E (1 on D or 3 on G) F (2 on D or 4 on G)

Now, before you ask "Why don't I just stay in 1st?" there is a good reason. If you use this fingering, you can use it for many other arpeggios.

I hope that helps, and sorry if it doesn't - I wrote a lot, as you can tell.

By the way, here is a theory site of which universitymongoose mentioned, this is pretty useful for theory information.

Answer 2

C scale starts at C (C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C)
arpeggios I believe are just thirds going up and down (skip every other note (C,E,G,A, G,E,C)
And thirds are just every other note....

You should double check there isn't a sharp somewhere by playing it on the violin and making sure it sounds right ...

I've played violin for 10 years but I was always bad at this stuff! :)

Answer 3

• Let's build a C Major Scale. Our starting note will be C.
• From the C, we will take a whole step to D.
• From the D, we will take another whole step to E.
• Next, we will go up a half step to F.
• From F, a whole step will take us to G.
• Next is another whole step to A.
• The last whole step takes us to B.
• Finally, the half step returns us to C.

Answer 4

The natural chords + root, 3rd and 5th:

C,E,G

D,F,A

E,G,B

F,A,C

G,B,D

A,C,E

B,D,F

You really ought to check out a theory primer. This is a very easy exercise.

P.S: I am a serious guitarist... it's all the same information.

Answer 5

C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C

C,E,G,C
