Chords that are built on major scale are simply the chord of each note on that particle major scale. For example, in C Major Scale, the notes are: C, D, E, F, G, A and B. By applying the formula of Major Chord (or Triad) which is 1 – 3 – 5, the notes for the C chord are C- E- G. And, the notes of D chord are D – F – A; and the notes of E chord are E – G – B, see below: – **C major (C-E-G)** – **D minor (D-F-A)** – **E minor (E-G-B)** – **F major (F-A-C)** – **G major (G-B-D)** – **A minor (A-C-E)** – **B diminished (B-D-F)** [Review: The formula of Major chord (Root-4HS-3HS). The formula of Minor chord (Root-3HS-4HS).] The next chord is the chord of the second note which is D (in the C Major scale), and by applying the formula of 1-3-5, we’ll play D-F-A, but since D-F-A is Root-3HS-4HS, so the D chord is a D minor chord.

| The third note of the C Major scale is E, and by playing 1-3-5 notes (E-G-B), again the chord is Root-3HS-4HS, which is a minor chord. Read the rest of this entry » |
