Learn to construct chords in 3 easy steps!
Chords are built from the major scale & the notes in any major scale can be derived from this pattern:
W W H W W W H
| W: | whole step (tone) | |
| H: | half step (semitone) |
Let's try constructing chords for the G major scale:
Step 1: Find the notes in the G major scale using the pattern:
| G | A | B | C | D | E | F# | G | |||||||
| W | W | H | W | W | W | H |
Step 2: Number the notes (also known as "scale tones"):
| G | A | B | C | D | E | F# | G | A | B | C | D | E |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
Step 3: Construct chord by applying the appropriate chord pattern:
For example:
1. Major chords are constructed from 1 3 5 of the major scale:
| G major: | G | B | D |
2. Minor chords are constructed from 1 b3 5 of the major scale:
| G minor: | G | Bb | D |
Chord Pattern List:
| Chord Patterns | Examples | |
|---|---|---|
| Major | 1 3 5 | G: G B D |
| Minor | 1 b3 5 | Gm: G Bb D |
| Dominant 7 | 1 3 5 b7 | G7: G B D F |
| Major 7 | 1 3 5 7 | Gmaj7: G B D F# |
| Minor 7 | 1 b3 5 b7 | Gm7: G Bb D F |
| Add 9 | 1 3 5 9 | Gadd9: G B D A |
| Suspended 4 | 1 4 5 | Gsus4: G C D |
Congratulations! You can now start to construct the chords that you want!
