In this video, you're going to learn a simple and efficient method to build ANY major and minor chord on the piano. The idea is to count the notes in half-steps. Doing this allows us to count the notes between each note.
For example, a major chord plays the root note, skips 3 notes, plays the next note, skips 2 notes and plays the next note. So the first skip is 3 and the second skip is 2. Therefore we can call major chords "3-2" chords. This applies to ALL major chords.
To construct a minor chord we need to reverse this, so we need to play a "2-3" chord. An easy way to remember this is because the first skip of the minor chord is small, and minor & small can mean a similar thing.
Lesson Summary:
- Learn the fundamentals of the method
- See some examples in various keys
- Apply it to both major and minor chords
