The root note of …
The root note of any scale determines the name of that scale. An F major scale has the scale root of F, but so does an F minor scale.
There are about 20 scales used in Western music and there are 12 different root notes for those 20 scales.
If you play a major scale with the root note A#, then that scale is called the A# major scale.
George
would a F major …
would a F major scale be when you start out the scale with the first note being an F? and then say a C major scale be when you start out the scale with the first note being a C? what about say a A#, would that be called some kind of a minor scale? or just a A# major scale?
Thanks for the look …

The “first-call” bass player is the one with all of the above AND the one who knows how to use his skills wisely.
We should play what is most suitable for the music … and do it well.
Kind regards,
George

Yes, you are correct. It is actually the clashing of the two sound waves very close to each other that is more apparent than frequencies further apart.
