Slide 14 - Quiz

Let's build a C-chord
1. When you start building a chord, you need a root note.
This is the same as the chord symbol
So for the C-chord, the root note is C
And for the F-chord, the root note is ......



Slide 15 - Slide

Let's build a C-chord
1. When you start building a chord, you need a root note.
This is the same as the chord symbol
So for the C-chord, the root note is C
2. After this you go from left to right on the piano
You go from low to high



Slide 16 - Slide

Let's build a C-chord
Now you have to count. 
Every step on the piano is a half tone higher.



Slide 17 - Slide

From C to C# is a half tone higer
From C to D is one tone higher (2 x 1/2).
From D to F?
From E to F?

Slide 18 - Slide

To built a MAJOR-chord, you go up 2 whole tones (4 steps on the piano) and than 1,5 tones higher (3 steps on the piano)
Attention: You don't use the root note as a step



Slide 19 - Slide

C-chord
1. Start at the root note
2. Go up 2 whole tones. You will find the major third (2nd note)
3. Take 1.5 tones higher  up to find the fifth (3rd note)

Slide 20 - Slide

D-chord
  • What is the root note?. 
  • 2 whole tones higher (third) = 

Slide 21 - Slide

D-chord
  • Root note is D. 
  • A major third higher = F#

Slide 22 - Slide

D-chord
  • Root note is D. 
  • 2 whole tones higher (major third) = F#
  • ...... higher

Slide 23 - Slide

D-chord
  • Root note is D.
  • 2 whole tones higher (major third) = F#
  • 1.5 higher =

Slide 24 - Slide

The D-chord
  • Root note is D. 
  • 2 whole tones up (major third) = F#
  • 1,5 tones up = A

Slide 25 - Slide

The D-chord 
So the D-chords is build like this
D  - F# - A
