Why is F sharp in G major?

The note F# would be called an accidental in the C Major scale, but not in this case, because it rightfully belongs to the G Major scale. In fact, F natural is now the accidental, because it does not belong. The following shows how the note sequence E, F, F#, G is written in the key of G.

(2.7) G Major Scale on Staff Lines

The notes of the G Major scale appear on staff lines as shown below. We can fit three octaves of G Major within the paired staff lines. Every time a note appears on the F lines, the sharp (#) symbol is put before it as an accidental, to show that it is really F#. Because F always means F# in the G Major scale, it is inconvenient to do this every time the note is used. Instead, a sharp can be placed at the start of every staff, to indicate that all F notes are to be played sharp. This is known as the key signature of the G Major scale. Only one F line on each clef is marked in this way, even though the treble clef, for example, also has an F in the space between the bottom two lines. The same three octaves of the G Major scale shown above can now shown more simply as follows. The note F# would be called an accidental in the C Major scale, but not in this case, because it rightfully belongs to the G Major scale. In fact, F natural is now the accidental, because it does not belong. The following shows how the note sequence E, F, F#, G is written in the key of G. First the natural symbol is used as an accidental, to override the sharp of the key signature, and then the F needs to be 'resharpened' afterwards, with a sharp accidental. Every key has a different key signature, as we will see shortly. The absence of a key signature always indicates the C Major scale. All Major scales apart from C Major have at least one sharp or flat (and most of them have several) but there are no Major keys which have both sharps and flats in their key signature.

What chord uses ace?

A minor In the key of A minor the chord built on the tonic note A is a minor triad (A-C-E), while the chord built on the third note of the scale is major (C-E-G). In the key of C major it's the major triad C-E-G that is built on the tonic note, while the triad built on the 6th note is minor (A-C-E).

ars-nova.com - What is the difference between a chord in major and a chord in minor?

Question: What is the difference between a chord in major and a chord in minor? - T.B. Answer: A major triad is a perfect fifth combined with a major third (4 halfsteps) above the lowest note. Example: C-E-G. A minor triad is the same but the third is minor (3 halfsteps). Example: C-Eb-G. Rearranging the notes doesn't change their basic nature: E-G-C is still a major triad but it's "inverted." Most of the music we listen to is basically major and minor triads in succession with various added tones like sevenths, plus decorations and connecting tones. Either kind of triad could be found in both major and minor keys. In the key of A minor the chord built on the tonic note A is a minor triad (A-C-E), while the chord built on the third note of the scale is major (C-E-G). In the key of C major it's the major triad C-E-G that is built on the tonic note, while the triad built on the 6th note is minor (A-C-E). When you hear a piece in A minor you hear music that centers on the A minor triad and probably makes use of the chords, A minor, D minor, E major... when you hear music in C major you're hearing music centered on C, with the main chords being C major, G major, D minor, F major... You won't hear very much music that uses only major or only minor chords, fortunately, though a short and simple major piece in C might get by with just C major, F major, and G major. So, major triads are different from minor ones, but both are used in major keys, and both are used in minor keys. You can't get very far without having both.
