CHORDS
By now, you should
be quite familiar with scales.
Now, let’s learn a
little something about chords.
Chords are several notes played together to form a
harmonious sound. We will be dealing primarily with Triad
Chords which are made up of combinations of 3 keys.
To form a Triad Chord, you would play the 1st, 3rd
and 5th notes in the scale.
For example, to form a Triad Chord out of the key of C you
would play keys C, E, and G together.
What keys would you play to form a Triad Chord out of the D
scale? Remember that the key of D has 2 sharps: F♯
and C♯. Therefore, the
triad chord for the D scale is D, F♯,
A.
Another way to become familiar with your fingering is to
remember the pattern for building triads.
