| Ionian | C | E |

What is the pattern of G major?
G major (or the key of G) is a major scale based on G, with the pitches G, A, B, C, D, E, and F♯. Its key signature has one sharp. Its relative minor is E minor and its parallel minor is G minor.
What are modes in parallel?
The parallel mode model builds all of the modes off of the same root note and, unlike the derivative or relative mode model, has notes not found in the Ionian mode.
