In today’s lesson, we’ll be learning the essential chords used in the gospel music style.<\/p>\n

But before we do so, let’s take a look at the basic concepts in the key of Eb major, where all our references will be drawn from.<\/p>\n

Overview Of The Basic Concepts<\/h2>\n

The key of Eb major:
\n
\n…has three flat notes in classical music theory – Bb:
\n
\n…Eb:
\n
\n…and Ab:
\n
\nTherefore, if you apply that to all the white notes on the keyboard from E to E:
\n
\n…you’ll lower B:
\n
\n…to Bb:
\n
\n…to form:
\n
\nNext, you lower E-E:
\n
\n…to Eb-Eb:
\n
\n…to form:
\n
\n“We’re Not Done Yet…”<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s one more flat…and that’s Ab. So you lower A:
\n
\n…to Ab:
\n
\n…and you’ll have the Eb major scale:
\n
\n…with three flats (Bb, Eb, and Ab).<\/p>\n

Attention: <\/strong>The key of Eb major is so unique. All notes are white apart from do, fa, and sol notes, which are Eb, Ab, and Bb, respectively.<\/p>\n

Basic Scales On Eb Major<\/h3>\n

There are vital scales you need to know in the key of Eb and here they are:<\/p>\n

The Eb Natural Major Scale<\/p>\n

The Eb Major Pentatonic Scale<\/p>\n

The Eb Blues Scale<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Are You Ready?”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Eb natural major scale:
\n
\n…consists of all the notes in the key of Eb major.<\/p>\n

The Eb major pentatonic scale:
\n
\n…consists of all the notes in the Eb natural major scale:
\n
\n…save the fourth and seventh tones (which are Ab and D respectively):
\n
\nThe Eb blues scale:
\n
\n…is a minor pentatonic scale and is related to the key of Gb major:
\n
\nThat’s why 5 out of the 6 notes of the Eb blues scale:
\n
\n…are in the Gb natural major scale:
\n<\/p>\n

Basic Chords<\/h3>\n

Get started with the most basic chords – they are called triads.<\/p>\n

Here’s the numbers to use while forming triads in the key of Eb major:
\n
\nThere are seven tones in the any key, not eight. The eighth tone is usually a duplicate of the first tone. So the Eb major scale:
\n
\n…has two Eb tones:
\n
\n…the first:
\n
\n…and the eighth (which is the duplicate):
\n
\n“So, Here We Go…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Eb<\/strong> = 1<\/p>\n

F<\/strong> = 2<\/p>\n

G<\/strong> = 3<\/p>\n

Ab<\/strong> = 4<\/p>\n

Bb<\/strong> = 5<\/p>\n

C<\/strong> = 6<\/p>\n

D<\/strong> = 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Using the notes of the Eb major scale, you can form the following chords:<\/p>\n

1 – 3 – 5 = Chord 1<\/p>\n

2 – 4 – 6 = Chord 2<\/p>\n

3 – 5 – 7 = Chord 3<\/p>\n

4 – 6 – 1 = Chord 4<\/p>\n

5 – 7 – 2 = Chord 5<\/p>\n

6 – 1 – 3 = Chord 6<\/p>\n

7 – 2 – 4 = Chord 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Let’s Add Notes To It…”<\/em><\/p>\n

1 – 3 – 5 = Chord 1:
\n
\n…the Eb major triad.<\/p>\n

2 – 4 – 6 = Chord 2:
\n
\n…the F minor triad.<\/p>\n

3 – 5 – 7 = Chord 3:
\n
\n…the G minor triad.<\/p>\n

4 – 6 – 1 = Chord 4:
\n
\n…the Ab major triad.<\/p>\n

5 – 7 – 2 = Chord 5:
\n
\n…the Bb major triad.<\/p>\n

6 – 1 – 3 = Chord 6:
\n
\n…the C minor triad.<\/p>\n

7 – 2 – 4 = Chord 7:
\n
\n…the D diminished triad.<\/p>\n
