Not sure from where but it goes like this. Just remember to only use the notes that occur in the scale when building your chords out of triads and you will know which kind of chord to play in the chord scale of any scale.Īnother great video Griff. Knowing this, you can take any scale or mode and create the harmonic chord structure for that scale. A minor triad with an added Major triad is a minor chord, 2 Major triads together make an augmented chord (not found in the Major scale, but does occur in other scales or modes) and 2 minor chords make a diminished chord. A Major triad with a minor triad added is a Major chord. The second, or upper triad has 3 half steps and is a minor triad. In the triad built on I in a major scale, the lower triad– I to III - has 4 half steps and is therefore a Major triad. These 3 notes are called “triads” and are either Major or minor, depending on the number of half steps in the intervals. To clarify, the chord built on the tonic (I) would be scale tones I,III,V. Each chord built on a each tone of the scale (any scale) consists of 2 triads–the tone you are building on, skip the next tone in the scale, play the next tone up, skip the next and play the one after. Hi, Griff, basically a good lesson, but I don’t understand why you don’t explain how the “standard harmony rule” has it’s very basis in the scale structure. As long as you’re learning and trying to get better…. it to make a lot or really horrible noise along the way. That’s okay!” The only way to make good music…. try this way if it feels better for you…. “Hey! If you can’t play that chord this way…. Being retired military you are trained that there is (usually) only one way to do something…… so when Griff says…. as long as you recognize them for what they are and keep moving forward. I think the two words I like to hear most from Griff is “That’s okay.” particularly when it comes to just making old fashioned bone headed mistakes. Had a black and white Ibanez with gold hardware in Germany in the 70’s but was forced to sell it because Uncle Sam messed up my pay right before a transfer. 67 years young with my oldest guitar being from 1968 and a fairly new Epiphone flame top in the Les Paul style. ![]() Sure glad to see that I’m not the only “coot” trying to relearn how to do it properly here. ![]()
