In this lesson I show you the Chord Wheel and how to basically use it. I show you how to transpose to a different key scale. I show how the 1,4,5 chords are found easily and how they are played. I also show how to play this 1,4,5 in a pattern that can be used right up the fretboard in order to cover every key scale including the sharp/flat scales.
Good luck & keep practicing.

  • @Topdoginuk to play a song we can use any of the 7 chords in key of c ?

  • @raxsdon Use 6 of the 7 (leave out the B diminished) C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am

  • Bought the app, really good, but what if you are writing anything in a minor key? Is there something I am not seeing?

  • @digitaldogontour Sorry, I didn't explain, it doesn't cover the minor scale chords.

  • so for example if we have c chord we play the major or the minor notes at once ? is kinda hard for me to understand this because i do produce music only with software i dont play any instrument at all but i really need this to improve my production .A simple explanation on how we use this would be apprechiated thanks

  • @dzole201 If you are using the key scale of C major, the best chords to strum are known as the 1st, 4th & 5th. They are C chord then, F chord then the G7chord which then wants to resolve back to the C chord to finish or start the next section. Stick with the major chords for a 'happier' sounding song or, you can add minor chords for variety or more mionor chords for a sad sound. The chords progression of 1st, 6th, 2nd, 5th, 1st (C, Am, Dm, G7, C) is a good one to try out.
