| Ok well if you want to learn chords first thing you | | | | And you go a whole step then another whole step |
| should do is learn how to form scales and I am | | | | and that is the second note. Then you go up a Step |
| guessing that you already know how to form a major | | | | and a half and that is the next note. So a C major |
| scale on the piano but if you don't it is basically the | | | | chord would be C E G And a D major would be D Gb |
| formula of | | | | A. And a B major would be B Db Gb. Ok so its as |
| Whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole | | | | simple as that. |
| step, whole step, half step. | | | | Ok if you want to form minor chords you will just take |
| Now that is meaning the distance between two keys | | | | a major chord and lower the second note a half step. |
| is a half step so from C to D is a whole step and from | | | | So a C minor would be to take the C major Which is |
| E to F is a half step. From Db to D is a half step, and | | | | C E G and lower the E one half step Which would |
| from Ab to Bb is a whole step. | | | | give you C Eb G. Ok that a C minor chord. And a F |
| So if you are going to figure out the C scale you | | | | minor would be F Ab C. Se we lower the A one half |
| would use that formula and you would get C D E F G | | | | step to Ab. |
| A B C | | | | Ok now I am going to tell you how to form diminished |
| Ok now that you know how to form scales now you | | | | chords and that is basically to Take a major chord and |
| can learn how to form chords. And the formula for a | | | | lower the Second and the third note a half step So a |
| Major chord is the root note which is what the chord is. | | | | C diminished chord would be. |
