These scale formulas are super great! Could I use them to teach professional guitar lessons?

Keep BOTH the wwhwwwh and 1234567 mnemonic guides (for Major/Ionian) in your memory. The first details the intervals, and the second details the degrees (note order/function) of the notes referenced to the Major scale. Both are useful for different purposes. Knowing them both gives you a fuller understanding of the theory.

YOU decide what makes a light turn on in your head in learning/understanding incrementally…much more important than someone saying theory isn’t useful or that it impedes their creativity. That may be true for one person’s perspective, but not all.

Plenty of talented musicians in history did not need theory, but the more one knows, the better one can explain to others, or analyze what someone else has shared (by ear or on paper).

Something that seems non-useful or confusing one day becomes enlightenment (for me, it might be the 1st or 4th time/person I think about something!) It’s like an investment in your musicianship.

Great article but I do think your majour scale formula is confusing i.e: 1234567…. because where it works in C it gets funky in other keys. The ol wwhwwwh makes a bit more sense (to me at least) when building a majour scale in any key.
