(1)= Tonic
(4)= Sub-dominant

(5)= Dominant
(7)= Seventh

Mid. C

 Each horizontal line = 1 half-note = 1 fret
 Chromatic Scale = Each half-note is 5.95%
 higher in frequency than the previous note.
 1 octave = 12 half-notes = doubling of frequency

 .
261.63 Hz. = Middle C
The musical scale is based upon the 12th root of 2.
Each note is 1.05946309 times the frequency of the adjacent lower note.

* Note that 110.00 Hz. has been called the "alien frequency", due to the Hypergeum resonance.

Yet others say it is 111 Hz.
AKA "Holy Frequency".

There is no shortage of speculation about this on the web. Dig in!
