Could anyone explain how do you find chords from the notes of songs.Moreover how do you find out if its a major or minor scale ?? do help. I try playing the notes but cant find the appropriate chord.
hmm........ gud question , wrong section - pls post your request on right section any you will . get reply . I am also luking for that..... and got the reply .... chk out scales...... but im still working on it. :think:
look up on the internet or on this forum for basic chord theory furthermore you will also need to learn scales and intervals. but here's the jist of it: you have a scale, lets say C major, this will determine the notes and the chords that you are allowed to play. For desi music scale = rag, although its more complex since the ascents and descents are always different, kinda like the minor scale the notes of C major are C, D, E, F, G, A and B each of these notes make up the root of a chord dependant on the position of each of these notes in the scale affects its chord type so in C Major scale the chords become: Cmaj Dmin Emin Fmaj Gmaj Amin Bdim however the 7th note is sometimes flattended by one semitone and converted into a major so Bdim becomes Bb/A# major Also if you have the note E then these are the chords you can play: C maj, Emin and Amin. This is because of the triad chord theory which states that all chords are made up of three notes. Cmaj = C E G Emin = E B G Amin = A C E but look through this forum (Beginners Q&A) for more detailed info and something that may sound less confusing hope that helps!
That's a good question and some simple formula will clarify it. All Major Scales follow this simple rule. F F H --- F --- F F H It's like a pair of Full Full Half Steps separated by one Full Step. So a C Major Scale would be C (F) -> D (F) -> E (H) -> F (F) -> G (F) -> A (F) -> B (H) -> C So the scale would be C D E F G A B C. Apply the same thing to other notes as well. Now count the above scale as 1 down to 8 and wrapping around to 1. So a C Major Chord formula is 1 3 5 = C E G A C Minor Chord formula is 1 b3 (Read it as Flat 3) and 5 = C D# G Take a C Major and add the 7th, to get the 7th. These simple theories are pretty important. I suggest you do the scales and then learn the chords. This method is not adopted usually but this method really rocks.
THats the rigth way Zain.. and @Donking. This is not a tab request thread.. So Please post your request in the request forum..
