Where can I find a scale generator? I dont know if this is the place to ask but ive seen one before but i forget where.
It may not be what you are looking for, but I have a table of the most common scales:
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Find a scale book that tells you how to build scales in terms of whole and half steps. Once you learn the whole and half step pattern of a note you can build any scale picking any note as the first or tonic of the scale. Example: Major w-w-h-w-w-w-h Between bc and ef is a half step the rest are whole steps.
c d e f g a b c C Major
w w h w w w h
Half steps spans 2 frets, whole step spans 3 frets.
Spider,
a half step or semi tone is represented by moving up or down one fret. A whole tone/step is represented by moving up or down the neck by two frets.
I understand (at third reading) what you are saying, but IMHO it is a confusing way of saying it. It would be easy to read it as being a half step is when you move two frets up the neck (which is how I first read it) and I don't think that is what you mean.

Greybeard,
You are right it is a bit confusing. My bad! Your method of counting up or down frets would be easier. I just taught my self to count startring from the number 1 not 0.
Thanks for clearing that up!
