C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Since C has not sharps or flats your 1st 3rd and 5th would be c-e-g

you only count the notes in that particular key not any other ones

Hope I didnt confuse you

AHA!!! NOW I GET IT!
No, you didnt confuse me...you opened my eyes!

I didnt know this: W W H W W W H
I though it was always as
a a# bc c# d d# ef f# g g# a.....

So the A major scale would be:
1 2 3- 4 5 6 7
A B C# D E F F#


right?
