Now, another thing we learned was a major triad and a minor triad. These are the first chords we learned. And we're going to get those chords right from the major scale. Here is our major scale. [MUSIC] Our major triad would be the root. [SOUND] Which is the first degree of the scale. The third, which is the third degree of the scale. The fifth, [SOUND] which is the fifth degree of the scale. There's your major triad. [MUSIC] In this case, this would be C major triad. The one chord in the key of C, why do I call it the one chord? Because it's built upon the first degree of the scale. [SOUND] If we did the four major triad in the key of C, that will be built on the fourth degree of the scale. [SOUND] F. [MUSIC] One, three, five in the key of F. [MUSIC] F major triad, C major triad, F major triad. [SOUND] If we built a major triad on the fifth degree of the scale. [SOUND] That would be on G, so we have the root, the third, the fifth. One, three, five in the key of G. [SOUND] The five major triad, G major. So one, four, five. Of course, remember that these three chords are synonymous with so many songs. [SOUND] I chord, [SOUND] IV chord, [SOUND] V chord. [MUSIC] The major triads. Now another triad we talked about was the minor triad. Minor triad is basically the major triad with a flatted third. We take the third, we go down a half step, and now it's flat. Slightly darker sound. [MUSIC] If we based upon the fourth degree of the scale, which is F, you have a F, three, you'll flatten the third, you'll go to A flat, and a C, five. F minor triad. C minor triad. F minor triad. C minor triad. F minor triad. We can also base that triad upon the fifth degree of the scale. Fifth degree of C scale was G. [MUSIC] 1, 3, 5, flat the 3. Now you have g minor triad. [MUSIC] F minor triad, c minor triad. [MUSIC] C minor triads So we have major triads, minor triads. Major triads, nice bright sound. Minor triads, little bit darker. Major triads, minor triads. Now another chord that we dealt with was the major seventh chord. The major seventh chord is constructed one, three, five, which is the major triad, and then you'll add the seventh degree of the scale, [SOUND] which is B natural. Seventh degree of the scale, the one, three, five, seven, that's your major seven chord. In this case it's C major 7. [MUSIC] If we build that same major seven chord on the 4th degree we would have F major 7. [MUSIC] F major 7. [SOUND] C major 7. [MUSIC] Now these are chords that are right now in root position. What is root position? [MUSIC] When they follow the sequential order one, three, five, seven. Now if I wanted to change the position or change the inversion, in this case we'll call it a different position. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take the seventh degree and put it down here. So now you have seven root third and fifth. And then I'll take the root and I'll put in the bass. So now you have root in the bass, the seventh, the third, and the fifth. This is also a C major 7 chord. Only it's voiced a little differently. C major 7 [SOUND] C major seven, [SOUND] C major seven. I kind of like this voicing, [SOUND] I like to call it the 735 voicing. If we build that same chord on F, root, seventh degree of F, the third, fifth. [MUSIC] F major 7. One easy way to find F major 7 or any major 7 is to take the major triad and then just move the root down to half step, and put the root on the base. So now we have 1, 7, 3, 5. F major seven. One, seven, three, five, C major seven. C major, F major, C major, F major. [SOUND] Now another kind of dominant chord we talked about was the dominant seventh chord. The major seventh chord, as you know, is one through five and seven. To make it a dominant seven chord you simply flat the seventh, you go from the B to the B flat. [SOUND] Now you have a dominant seventh chord. [SOUND] C dominant seventh chord. And if you built it on the fourth degree, F, A, C. Use your major seven, to make it a dominant, simply flatten it. F dominant seventh chord, C dominant seven [MUSIC] F dominant 7. [MUSIC] Now if you use the voicing that we talked about with the major 7 chords. It was a 735. Same thing applies here. [MUSIC] Flat 735. Still C dominant 7. [MUSIC] F dominant seven, root, flat seven, three, five, F dominant seven. [MUSIC] One, C seven, four, F7. [MUSIC] The dominant seventh chords. So those are basically the chords that we learned in this course. Major triads, minor triads, major seventh, dominant seventh.
