Triads - Maj-min-min-Maj-Maj-min-dim Four-Note chords - Maj7 - m7 - m7 - Maj7 - 7 - m7 - m7b5 Knowing these triads and chords will not only give you more fuel for your next original song, but it will help you recognize groups of chords in a key when analyzing songs, especially for building soloing strategies over tough progressions. Just a quick question about this, I notice that for the four note chords you charted out the 5th has just a 7, rather than a Maj., Min., or Min7 b5. Does this have to do with the fifth being dominant? -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

I posted a short primer on building major scales or identifying major key signatures for those that are looking to explore that topic further.

Ah! Tough luck on the flats. Yeah, just check out the link as it should fill in the gaps you may have in working out flat keys on paper and/or on the neck. Doing it now sir! |
