	MAJOR - Definition
		Greater in number, quantity, or extent; as, the major part of the assembly; the major part of the revenue; the major part of the territory.
		{Major scale} (Mus.), the natural diatonic scale, which has semitones between the third and fourth, and seventh and fourth, and seventh and eighth degrees; the scale of the major mode, of which the third is major.
		In major keys the third and sixth from the key tone are major.

	and
		C to D is a major second since it is a generic second on the staff and two semitones on the keyboard.
		For example, since C to A is a major sixth (9 semitones), C to A# is an augmented sixth (10 semitones).
		For example, since C to B is a major seventh (11 semitones), C to Bb is a minor seventh (10 semitones).

	Lesson- 'Swing Soloing'
		To execute a common tone sequence, begin with an ordinary C major sixth lick over the C chord, switch to the C minor sixth arpeggio, and then repeat the lick over the F chord using Eb instead of E, as in Example 13.
		In Example 15, Ab is the chromatic passing tone between the sixth and the fifth of the C major sixth arpeggio.
		Example 16 begins with the major sixth sound before going into a chromatic passing tone from the root to the b7 of the C7 arpeggio in the second half of the first measure.

		The major sixth sounds as follows, played here first one note after the other (as in a melody), and second simultaneously (as in a chord).
		The distance between the two notes of a major sixth comprises four whole-steps and one half-step.
		Major and minor sixths are fairly wide intervals, hence occur less frequently in most types of melody.

		This allows you to add further major intervals to a major chord as, for example, Cma7, which means a C major chord with a major 7th - the 'ma' used as a qualifier for the '7' and not for the 'C' where it is understood.
		C suspended 4th triad where the third of the major triad is raised by a semi-tone (half-step).

	The Pharaoh's Music Section - MODES
		If you are familiar with the major scale (and its relative minor) and are able to modulate to various keys, it is time to move around within the scale while it remains stationary.
		Play the major scale from its second scale degree to its second scale degree an octave away (key of C maj - D to D) and you are playing the Dorian mode, characterized by containing a flat third, a major sixth and a flat seventh.
		The minor scale that is built on the sixth degree of the major scale may be the source of some confusion because it has several names, the Aeolian mode and natural minor.

	TonalityGUIDE: Augmented sixth chords (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The augmented sixth, like most chromatic chords, usually leads to V. While the diminished seventh and secondary dominant are diatonic chords taken out of context, the augmented sixths does not have a direct diatonic origin.
		The first is a last inversion secondary dominant in C major, while the second is a phrygian cadence in C minor.
		The effect in all three cases is of a strong tension (the dissonant augmented sixth) resolving onto the dominant (chord V).

		The octave of the resolution is taken as defining the outer notes of a scale in which the distinctive "Landini tone" is the sixth degree.
