What are the Three Primary Chords used in A Song

 

There are three primary chords for any song that you play. If a song is played in the key of C, then the three primary chords would be C chord, F chord and G chord.
 
Primary chords are Major Chords. So, if your song were to play in the key of C, the chords of the C major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) would have C Chord, F Chord and G Chord being the major chords.

Chords Built On Major Scale

 
Chords-and-Major-Scales-Zebrakeys.L.100

 

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. [Review: 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 »
