0:03:26 > 0:03:29Thank you so much for watching, you guys.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'm sure you sounded like angels.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32For sure.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- We'll see you soon.- Peace out.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44We were just chatting about Best Day, and something we found

0:03:44 > 0:03:47interesting about it was that it's in a major key.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49So, we thought we'd talk to you about major scales

0:03:49 > 0:03:51and what they're all about.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53So, I mean, I don't really know that much about piano.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- What's, like, the minor and the major scales and stuff?- OK. Well,

0:03:57 > 0:03:59if I were to play this, tell me how you feel.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- PIANO PLAYS - Kind of happy, yeah.- OK, and then,

0:04:02 > 0:04:03like this... PIANO PLAYS

0:04:03 > 0:04:04That's a lot more sad.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08So, as you guys know, Best Day is a really happy and upbeat song.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12So, it's actually played in a key called G major.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Major scales, what exactly are they?

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Well, it's a pattern of notes in between an octave.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18So, what is an octave?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well, it's eight notes in between C and C,

0:04:21 > 0:04:24or A and A, or whatever the key is in.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28And so, the pattern of a major scale is always whole tone,

0:04:28 > 0:04:29whole tone, semi-tone,

0:04:29 > 0:04:31whole tone, whole tone,

0:04:31 > 0:04:32whole tone, semi-tone.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Now I can show you how to actually play Best Day.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40So, it would start with C, and then go to a chord called A minor.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Which is still in the key of C major, even though it's minor.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44And then G.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- So, do you want to sing with me? - Yeah, sure.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50# Hey

0:04:50 > 0:04:52# Take a break

0:04:53 > 0:04:57# You're so caught up, you're going to trip until your downfall

0:04:57 > 0:05:00# Uh-oh

0:05:00 > 0:05:02# Hey

0:05:02 > 0:05:05# Come out to play

0:05:05 > 0:05:09# You worry so much about making it, you're missing it all

0:05:09 > 0:05:11# Uh-oh. #

0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, now that you guys know how to play it,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15you can jam out to the song at home.
