C# Ionian on Guitar

C# Ionian runs 7 notes to the octave. Below it is mapped onto this instrument's E–A–D–G–B–E fretboard with every C# marked, because what a player needs mid-number is not the pattern but where the root is when the harmony moves under it.

Bright, resolved, and stable. The foundation of Western tonal music and the most common mode in pop, classical, folk, and jazz.

Heard in: Pop, classical, country, folk, gospel — the default major tonality of Western music.

Scale work in the armonía is for the passing figure that joins one chord to the next — a few notes at the seam of a change, played by one member while the other keeps the pattern intact.

Take it slowly against the playback until the geometry stops being geometry, then put it under a number in Db and let the written line pick its own notes out of it.
