  1. Multimedia Sound Production Basic Chord Structures and Patterns

  2. Agenda • Theory and Conventions • Scale Structure and Notation • Common Chord Structures • Chord Groupings and Patterns • Chord Shapes and Score Notation

  3. Theory and Conventions • A scale consists of eight notes (octave) • When two or more notes of a scale are played simultaneously then this represents playing a Chord based on the scale • Each scale note is identified by its position in the scale • The first note of a scale is called the root • The root note played together with the third and fifth note of the scale provides the Major Chord for a given scale • A chord which only uses three notes of the scale is called a Triad • Other notes may be added to a chord in simple or complex ways which will have an affect on the overall sound

  4. The C Major Scale with Associated Notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The first note of the scale is called a numerical Degree of the scale e.g first note is the First Degree, next note is theSecond Degree

  5. The Chord of C Major C, E, G

  6. The C Major Chord Triplet C F G C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The major chord based on the first of the scale is then followed by the major chord based on the fourth note of the scale followed by the major chord based on the fifth note of the scale finishing on the first major chord

  7. The Chord Sequence C Major, F Major, G Major, C Major This sequence of chords forms a natural grouping that ‘sounds right’ musically.

  8. The Chord of C Major C, E, G

  9. The Chord of F Major F, A, C

  10. The Chord of G Major G, B, D

  11. The Chord of C Major C, E, G

  12. The Chord Sequence G Major, C Major, D Major, G Major The F in D Major is Sharpened as this follows the key signature for that scale

  13. The Chord of G Major G, B, D

  14. The Chord of C Major C, E, G

  15. The Chord of D Major D, F , A

  16. The Chord of G Major G, B, D

  17. What is The F Major Chord Triplet ? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The major chord based on the first note of the scale is then followed by the major chord based on the fourth note of the scale followed by the major chord based on the fifth note of the scale finishing on the first major chord

  18. The Chord of F Major F, A, C

  19. The Chord of B Major B , A, C

  20. The Chord of C Major C, E, G

  21. The Chord of F Major F, A, C

  22. The Chord of C Major C, E, G with single bass note C

  23. Minor Chords 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A minor chord has a distinctive sound. Each major scale has an associatedRelative Minor Scale which is based on the Sixth Degree (Note) of the Major Scale 6 The Relative Minor of C Major is A Minor Triad chord for A Minor
