About major, minor, seventh chords
We are talking about major, minor , seventh, etc… Which differences ?
A major chord consists of 3 notes:
the first note is the tonic e.g. the first note of the scale : it gives the general tone of the chord.
the second note is the third e.g. the third note of the scale.
the third is the fifth e.g. the fifth note of the scale.
Examples for C chords
Major chord : play C(1) – E(3) – G(5) The seven notes of the C scale are = C(1), D(2), E(3), F(4), G(5), A(6), B(7).
Minor chord: play: C(1) – E flat(3) – G(5) the third of the chord, is lowered = E dropped a half ton = E flat (shift one fret to the top from E).
See another example with the D and D minor chords above (the green finger is moving up in D minor).
Seventh chord: play C(1) – E(3) – G(5) – B flat(7) B flat is added ( B(7) yes… the seventh !).
CAUTION: B lowered by one semitone = B flat (shift one fret to the top from B)
Learn the abreviations Note: chords Eb are prononced E flat, chords G# are prononced G sharp.
Talk like a pro ! Use the fact that musicians do not mention the major chord like C major,
we only say: C, however the “minor”, “seventh” and others are still listed.
Exceptions for seventh chords:
for major seventh CM7 (pronounced C major seven)
for minor seventh: Cm7 (pronounced C minor seven)
and C minor chords: Cm (pronounced C minor).
