The C note with the 8 is one octave away from the first C note. Notice that the C note has the number 1 under it, the D is 2, E is 3 and so on. We will construct our chords using the numbers under each of the chords. There’s a very important reason why each note below has been numbered. If you’re not up on scale construction, it may be a good idea to go back and review major scale construction and chord construction. Remember from our scale construction lesson earlier that every major key is constructed with the W, W, H, W, W, W, H formula. All of the notes other than the E and F and B and C are one whole step away from each other. 1 whole step on the guitar equals two frets.
This means that from the C to D we would have 1 whole step. That black key would be 1/2 step and 1/2 step from the black key to the D note. Notice the distance from the C to D note, there is 1 black key in between these two notes. The distance from the B to C note would be 1/2 step. Notice that there is no black key between the E and F note and the B and C note. So all the white keys on the keyboard are used to construct the key of C major. The black keys are sharps and flats that will be used to construct chords and other scales. Notice that none of the black keys are used to construct the key of C major. Check those notes out and their placement. Each note of the key of C major is numbered 1 through 8. The keyboard above illustrates the notes that make up the key of C major. You may be wondering why I’m using a piano keyboard the piano keyboard will help me illustrate chord construction. We will construct major and minor 7th chords and much more. In this lesson and the next few we will work on constructing 3 and 4 note chords. You must understand how chords relate to each other and how they are constructed before we can completely understand chord substitution.
The most important skill to obtain is chord theory, which includes chord construction. Constructing 7th Guitar Chords How to build and play major 7 and minor 7 chords in the key of C majorīy the time we get done with the next couple lessons there will be no need for those chord finder things.
