@SummerCircus91

no problem. glad to help :)

@div911X its alright i figured it out thanks to google, it goes Major, Minor, Minor, Major, Major, Minor, Diminished. So if u start with an A chord the chords u have are Amajor, Bminor, C#minor, Dmajor, Emajor, Fminor G#diminished. I've been kinda learning everything in a mixed up order so it gets a bit confusion but i think i've got it now.

@SummerCircus91

i don't think i can fully answer your question but something that can help you is looking at the major and minor chord relations.

ok theres something iv been struggling with for a long time to do with the major scale. In the key of any major scale like for example im playing in the key of D why are there minor chords? its something like D, Em, F#m G, A, Bb, Cdim. Ive been trying to understand why there are minors in there? i can understand theres flats and sharps because they're in the scale but why are there minor chords and how am i supposed to know what chords i can play after i start in a key as it seems random to me?
