This is the first part of the chord tutorial

This
section will cover the Chords tutorial. The standard chords will be
illustrated here. But before that let me list out the standard chords below
:

C Major,C# Major,D Major,D# Major,E Major,F

C Minor,C# Minor,D Minor,D# Minor,E Minor,F Minor,F# Minor,G Minor,G#
Minor,A Minor,A# Minor,B Minor

As it is quite evident from the list below, each note has its corresponding
major chord as well as minor chord. Before proceeding with the illustration
of each chord, let us see the rule which governs which notes will be used for
playing each chord.

Chord
Formula :

As
stated above, each note has its corresponding major and minor chord. In case
of major chords, the
notes that will be used for a particular note are as follows : The root note
i.e the chord for the note which you want to play, the 4th note counting from
the root note and finally the 7th note starting from the root note.As for
example, if we want to play C Major, the notes in use will be C (root note),E ( 4th note counting from the root note )
and G ( 7th note starting from the root note ).
Have a look at the illustration below.

E (4th note)

G(7th note)

C (Root Note)

In
case of minor chords, the notes that will be used for a particular note are
as follows : The root note i.e the chord for the note which you want to play,
the 3rd note counting from the root note and finally the 7th note starting
from the root note.As for example, if we want to play C Minor, the notes in
use will be C (root note),D# ( 3rd note counting
from the root note ) and G ( 7th note starting from the root note ). Have a look at the illustration below.

D#(3rd note)
