Music divides the octave in 12 steps, each one is called a semi-tone steps. On the keyboard or piano division is seen in the number of keys that exist within a single octave of 12 keys which consists of seven white keys and 5 black keys. On the guitar fingerboard is also seen that an octave is divided in 12 fret, one fret each step with a semi-tone or half tone and step two frets is called a tone or a single tone.
All the major scale has a range of semitones from 3rd to 4th (Mi to Fa) and from 7th to 8th (Si to 'Do'), so if you will play a major scale in one string then from the first fret you press should have step two fret - two frets - fret one - two fret - two fret - two fret - a fret or 1-1 - ½ - 1 - 1 - 1 - ½. In the C Major scales, patterns of this step produces a collection of tones without the sharp and flat, which means it is also only the white keys on a piano that form the C Major scales. With the same pattern scales G Major has one sharp, F Major scales have a flat, the picture that is easier on the many sharp and flat in a gamut described in other parts of this website.
