- Summary – Finding Chords That Go Together
When trying to work out chordsthat go together, there are two main areas to address. First, what are the letter names of the chords, or root notes of the chords within a given key, and secondly what is the quality of the chords?Quality refers to whether the chord is major, minor, diminished, or augmented.
Triads
There are three main types of chords. When most people refer to chord types they are thinking in terms of minor, major, suspended, augmented, etc. But this is actually the chord’s ‘quality’. Chord type refers to how the chord is built. There are 3 ‘types of chords. Triads, 7th chords, and extended chords. A basic triad is a three-note chord built by stacking thirds, 7th chords are chords that contain an additional 7th e.g. a C7 chord is built on a major triad with a minor 7th interval added a...
What’s a triad?
The major and minor chords you first learn in the open position(the first four frets) on guitar are triads. A triad is a chord built from three notes, stacked in intervals of a third, as seen in our example on the left. If you need to brush up on how to read a chord chart click here. If you are wondering why many chords on the guitar seem to include more than three notes, it is because the notes are repeated e.g. a D Major chord includes the open D string and another D on the third fret of th...
Unless you have memorized the notes in any given scale and the formulas used, it’s obviously not ideal to count the notes of the scaleto work out the quality of a chord. With this in mind, it’s simpler to focus on established patterns, for this, we reference the chord scale. For example, in all major keys, the first, fourth, and fifth chords are al...
D Major This system known as the Nashville Numbering Systemwas first developed in the 1950s to simplify the naming of chords within a sequence or common progression and is based on scale degrees. While similar, the chords correspond with the numerals in the table above, just as our previous example used Roman numerals in upper and lower case. Also ...
Chords, when played as part of a progression such as I, IV, and V take on specific roles within chord progressions e.g. the I chord is the root, and therefore when we return to the I chord the progression resolves. While the V chord (dominant) adds tension and feels like it must return to the I to resolve the chord progression. Each chord in this r...
Now that we understand how to establish the letter names and qualities of chords within a specific key, and the role chords play within chord progressions we’ll finish this article with a look at some of the more common chord formulas used in music.
Knowing what chords go together well, comes down to understanding how to identify the chords within a given key, the quality of the chord, and its role with regard to the movement it helps create within a chord progression. And while you may prefer to write music in a less technical way, consider going back and looking at the music you might have p...
