Mostly added references to the already existing literature notes. Starting to use org-roam-bibtex a lot more but I'll experiment with using org-cite at the same time. For future references, look into the Citations section from the org-roam manual.

Learn music theory in half an hour
- sounds are vibrations of air just repeated quickly in a short period of time
- for the sake of easily referring to the sounds, we name them; the commonly agreed number of notes are 12 composing of an octave;
- scales are the flavor of the song; certain genres are often written in some scales (e.g., blues are often written in Emaj)
- major scales; WWhWWWh
- minor scales; WWWhWWh
Exercises
-
practice applying the major scale for 5
- D E Fb G A B C# D
- E# G A A# C D E E# 1
- A# C D D# F G A A#
- G A B C D E F# G
- C D E F G A B C
- A B C# D E F# G# A
-
practice getting familiar with their letter names
-
assuming A# is the root of the major scale
- A# is the first
- C is the second of A#maj
- D# is the fourth of A#maj
- D is the third
- G is the sixth of A#maj
-
-
practice making triads from first through sixth degrees of a major scale
-
G major scale:
- G B D = Gmaj
- A C E = Amin
- B D F# = Bmin
- C E G = Cmaj
- D F# A = Dmaj
- E G B = Emin
- F# A C = F#dim
-
A major scale:
- A C# E = Amaj
- B D F# = Bmin
- C# E G# = C#min
- D F# A = Dmaj
- E G# B = Emaj
- F# A C# = F#min
- G# B D = G#dim
-
C major scale:
- C E G = Cmaj
- D F A = Dmin
- E G B = Emin
- F A C = Fmaj
- G B D = Gmaj
- A C E = Amin
- B D F = Bdim
-
- each of them has a certain pattern: maj, min, min, maj, maj, min, dim
-
practice making chord progressions with numbers
- 1 4 2 5 in G and A key
- 4 2 1 1 6 in E
- 3 1 4 in C

Yes, this is just F. It's still a nice exercise sample, though.
