7 notes are in the major scale. Example: The C major scale would be C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C again, which is 8 notes when played, but technically the C wouldn't be counted twice so you only end up with 7 different tones. The G major scale would be the same and so on. Example: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#(G)
