Needed image

Major scale has a picture of the C major scale that I put in C major. Can anyone upload a similar picture of the G major scale to be added here?? Georgia guy 00:49, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Additional note: when uploading the scale, is it better to put in the key signature or add the sharp accidentals?? Georgia guy 01:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keyboard Fingering

It would be a good idea to add the standard keyboard fingering for a two-octave G major scale.

G major is more than a scale.

It is a key. A piece can be heard in the key of G major without using all the notes of the scale. Something fundamental to its definition is the priveledged place G has to the piece-- it almost always ends the piece, and it is the note that the leading tone leads to.

F#

Does the F below G should also be put a # on it? or by default, it means yes? Jackzhp 22:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the key of G major, F is sharped, if that is what you are asking. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 04:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of contemporary music a little too long?

By a little, I mean way too long. There is no reason for this many pieces; it is a crufty. If there are no objections, I'd actually like to remove it completely. There is no encyclopedic benefit to having such a list (how does knowing the key of pieces add to the article?), and in my experience, lists like this are very difficult to maintain (IPs will invariably add new pieces, even if you add a hidden HTML message). -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 04:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, shouldn't Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring be listed in the list of Well-Known Classical music?

Agreed that this list is mostly BS. Fans who realize, "OMG, my favorite song is in G" (or whatever key) sadly feel the need to make these pages less useful. Amber388 13:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so elitist. nothing wrong with IPing, and it isn't like adding content makes an article less useful.

30-May-2007: In 2006/2007, Wikipedia images required both attributes "thumb|250px" to show a caption, as in:

[[Image:MyPhoto.jpg|thumb|250px|right| My picture.]]

By itself, size "250px" ignores the caption "My picture" (confusing many people), which is considered bad form in computer languages (should warn & be corrected rather than ignore). Just remember to include "thumb" (or "frame") for a caption in an image-link.

Image hints in 2007:

  • Limit most images to "thumb|300px" to avoid crowded text-wrapping.
  • A small image followed directly by a big image often chops text.
  • To resize larger than the original ("oversizing"), omit "thumb" (oversized images cannot have captions in 2007, yet).
  • Beware "left|thumb" (for "right|"), because left-side images appear immediately to left of the text.
  • Most images (99.99%) should be quick JPEG for rapid display.
  • Avoid resizing PNG images (2007): might become 10x larger resized.

Overall, omitting "thumb" is the most common problem.

There are many formatting issues in the Wiki software (used worldwide), with a long list of problems to fix, but in the software world, errors often persist, only to be upstaged by a totally radical new software version, rather than just fixing the irritating problems fast. Note that numerous software systems (not just Wiki) have frustrating issues for years. -Wikid77 16:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Love Me Do

I removed:

I thought this song was in the Mixolydian mode, which this list is not supposed to include. Georgia guy (talk) 18:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Songs

Add these songs to the list if you can find sources for them:

Lyin' Eyes - The Eagles Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson Turning Japanese - The Vapors The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby and the Range Yakety Yak - The Coasters 24.158.8.234 (talk) 18:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added Internet Use

I added a section about the use of the term "In G major" on YouTube. Should this be moved, or not? BigUns!!!!!!! (talk) 21:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of the strings can be played open on a guitar

The guitar's strings are tuned EADGBE, all of which appear in G Maj. Can someone with editing abilities fix where it says 3 can be played open? There's 3 open strings in an open G chord, but you could potentially use any open string. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.172.207 (talk) 03:11, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
