Also called a semitone.  \nKey- Reference to what scale of notes a song is based on. Root- The note in which a chord is based on. ex.- C is the root of a Cm7 .  \nScale- Subset of notes in order, usually consisting of whole and half steps over the course of an octave.  \nSharp- Raises the note a half step.  \nWhole Step- Two notches on the wheel. Also called a Tone. 1-4-5-Since the 3 major chords diatonic to a major key are the 1, the 4, and the 5 of a song. It’s very common to use those 3 chords in a song. Songs, or parts of songs, that only use those three chords are called “One Four Five”.  \nTimes  \nQuarter Note - The standard beat of a song. 1, 2, 3, 4.  \nEighth Note - The off beat of a song. “+”. pronounced “and”. Sixteenth Note - Divisions in between eighth notes. “e” and “a”(pronounced “uh”) .  \nOne Measure-1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a  \nSome of the information on this sheet may require background explanation...
