Scales and chords

As soon as you know a major scale you also know the chords. This is because you can randomly

choose three different notes from a scale and you will get a triad (learn more about chords). For

example: in the key of C the standard chords that are used are:

 C Major (notes: C - E - G)
 D Minor (notes: D - F - A)
 E Minor (notes: E - G - B)
 F Major (notes: F - A - C)
 G Major (notes: G - B - D)
 A Minor (notes: A - C - E)
 B Diminished (notes: B - D - F)
