Hi all, in my last post I told you how to figure out how to know what chords are in what key. In this post I will show two more examples of major keys. I have updated the last post to make sure it was totally about the key of A. So reread it because that really applies to all the major keys.
Today I will show you two more keys, remember with this you can figure out all the major keys.
First Chords in the key of C. I think that chords in the key of C are the easiest, there no Sharps of Flats to worry about. Next will be chords in the key of B.
1. Pattern of a major scale: WWHWWWH (W=Whole Step, H=Half Step)
A. CDEFGABC Between C and D whole step. Between D and E whole step. Between E and F half step. Between F and G whole step. Between G and A whole step. Between A and B whole step. Between B and C half step.
2. Chord quality is : MmmMMmoM (M=major, m=minor, o=diminished)
A. CDmEmFGAmBdim
3. Pattern of a major scale: WWHWWWH (W=Whole Step, H=Half Step)
A. BC#D#EF#G#A#B Between B and C# whole step. Between C# and D# whole step. Between D# and E half step. Between E and F# whole step. Between F# and G# whole step. Between G# and A# whole step. Between A# and B half step.
4. Chord quality is : MmmMMmoM (M=major, m=minor, o=diminished)
A. BC#mD#mEF#G#mA#dim
With the example on the last post and the two on this post, you should be able to figure out chords in whatever major key you want.
In future posts I will post a book review and talk about chords in the minor key. That's it for now.
