BUILDING CHORDS FROM A MAJOR AND MINOR SCALE What is chords? A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of pitches/frequencies consisting of "multiple notes played simultaneously." Its derivations: Arpeggios/ Broken Chords EXAMPLE: Chords from C Major Scale: Major Scale Note (7) : 1st + 3rd + 5th = Resulting Chords (Major or Minor)? (Chords from C Major Scale) Explanation with Examples: 3rd Note of each chord will be major or Minor (according to its relativity) For example: In C major scale, we can build 1 chords from each note. Since it is a seven note scale. So 7 different chords can be build in major and minor (according to its relativity) Starting, our first note is C C D E F G A B C 1st Note: C + E + G = C Maj chord (because 3rd note E is not relative minor of C) 2nd Note: D + F + A = D min chord (because 3rd note F is the re...
