this is confusing beacuse say if im in the key of D how could i make a D major chord if i use 1 3 5 beacuse that makes D Minor confuses me and i cant figue out how the Dmaj is made

Start with a D scale: d,e, f sharp, g, a, b, c sharp, d. Now try 1, 3, 5. You will get a D major chord.

Does anybody know the book she is teaching from

[alabamaslam14]

another way to construct a chord is to know the interval names these are: Unison, min2nd, maj2nd, min3rd, maj3rd, perfect4th,aug4th/dim5th, perfect5th, min6th/aug5th, maj6th/dim7th, min7th, maj7th, Octave or 1, b2, 2, b3, 3, 4, 4#/b5, 5, b6/5#, 6/bb7, b7, 7, 8 if you use C as the Unison it would be C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C write it w/o skipping the sharps(#) or the flats(b). To get Cm use the formula 1 b3 5 w/c is C D# G. C is the root/Unison D# is the min3rd & G is the 5th.

i love how she loves music you can tell by the ways she teaches only if it was in person i such watching videos.

@metachozoite A diminished chord is identified as having the interval of a minor third between its root and third and between its third and fifth.

B diminshed (chord on the 7th scale degree) has notes B D F with intervals of a minor third between each note.

This is differen't to a minor chord which has the intervals minor third -major third (B D F# )

- or a major chord which has the intervals major third minor third (B D# F#)

Get it -quite simple really - just takes a bit of practice.

@gokharol A minor chord has a minor third between the root and third D to F is a minor third. D to F# is a major 3rd. You don't have to memorize - just work out the distance between the root and third. Just a little practise every day and you can start to recognise chords very quickly - in fact instantly.

@case001100 She has written down the scale of C major.

C major has no sharps or flats so chord 1 of C major = C E G.

Now if the D she talks about was a chord 1 it would be in the key of D major which contains the notes D E F# G A B C# . So taking the first, third and fifth of this scale (D major) we would get D F# A - a major chord.

However the D is in the key of C major as chord 2 (the second degree of the scale) so becomes D F A not F# because C major has no F# - so the chord is minor.
