This is the talk/discussion page for the "G major" article.
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
It would be a good idea to add the standard keyboard fingering for a two-octave G major 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.
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
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?
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:
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

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
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
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
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
The article says: "Of Domenico Scarlatti's 555 keyboard sonatas, G major is the home key for 69 (12.4%, about 50% more than the 8.3% one would expect in a even distribution)." May I ask (sarcastically) why anyone who knows anything about Western music would expect an even distribution? Everyone knows that some keys are more common than others, and that the choice of key is often influenced by the choice of instrumentation (e.g. music for brass is often written in flat keys because most brasses are transposing instruments in B-flat or E-flat, while guitar music, such as rock and country songs, is often written in the most convenient keys for guitar, such as A, D, and G). The way the text is written, it gives the impression that Scarlatti used G more often than most other composers, which may or may not be true but is not supported by the argument given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.37.200.148 (talk) 06:04, 5 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
