But Then, How About Right Hand Chords?&#8221;"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>If you have understood the number system but are interested in learning how right hand chords are derived, this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> This lesson is written with beginners in mind. Therefore, intermediate and advanced players might not find it very interesting or beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll refresh our minds on the number system before we proceed to learning how the right hand chords are derived.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Number System<\/h2>\n<p>There are so many ways to represent the notes on the keyboard &#8212; which include but isn&#8217;t limited to any of the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Use of letter names<\/p>\n<p>Use of sound syllables<\/p>\n<p>Use of numbers<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Our focus in this lesson is on the number system where notes are represented or notated using numbers. For example in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the seven unique tones are represented using numbers.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check It Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is the 1<\/p>\n<p>D is the 2<\/p>\n<p>E is the 3<\/p>\n<p>F is the 4<\/p>\n<p>G is the 5<\/p>\n<p>A is the 6<\/p>\n<p>B is the 7<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the use of the number system, every scale tone in the key is associated with a number. For example, the 4 in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;will always be F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, instead of saying &#8220;F&#8221; one can say &#8220;4&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>Application Of The Number System In Chord Progression<\/h3>\n<p>A chord progression is a product of the movement from one chord to the other and the number system can be applied in the concept of chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>A chord progression in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;from the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,D,F,A,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,E,G,B,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is represented as a 2-3 chord progression and this is because in the key of C major:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>D is the second tone (the 2)<\/p>\n<p>E is the third tone (the 3)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s how we got the 2-3 chord progression; through the association of tones with numbers. Instead of saying <em>&#8220;a D-E progression&#8221; <\/em>we can just say <em>&#8220;a 2-3 chord progression&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Alright! Now that we&#8217;ve refreshed our minds on the number system, let&#8217;s see how the right hand chords are derived.<\/p>\n<h2>How Right Hand Chords Are Derived<\/h2>\n<p>The right hand chords for the notes in the number system can be derived using the major scale of the prevalent major key.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;all the right hand chords are derived from the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Submission:<\/strong> The use of right hand chords here in this lesson is in reference to diatonic chords (and not chromatic chords) in any prevalent key.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll show you how to form the 1-chord and 2-chord, then let you figure out the rest.<\/p>\n<h3>How To Derive The 1-Chord In Any Key<\/h3>\n<p>The 1-chord is the chord of the first tone in the key. To form the 1-chord, you need to keep two things in mind:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The major scale of the key you&#8217;re in<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>2. Third intervals<\/p>\n<p>So, starting from C (which is the root of the 1-chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we can add other chord tones in third intervals (and keeping the C major scale in mind):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A third from C is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA third from E is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Altogether, we have the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWe can go ahead to add other notes in third intervals (keeping the C major scale in mind):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A third from G is B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adding B to the &#8220;C-E-G&#8221; tones (the C major triad) we already have produces the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIf you continue in third intervals and keep the major scale in mind, we&#8217;ll form ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords for the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<h3>Formation Of The 2-Chord In Any Key<\/h3>\n<p>Keeping the C major scale in mind:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can form the 2-chord by stacking scale tones in third intervals starting from the second tone of the scale (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA third from D is F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and another third interval from F is A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and if we add all the tones (D, F, and A) together, we have the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAdditional notes in third intervals will produce seventh and extended chords like ninths, elevenths, and thirteenth chords.<\/p>\n<p>A third above A is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;so adding C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the D minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIf we add another third above C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,E,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the D minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,C,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we&#8217;ll have the D minor ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,C,E,&amp;color=993399&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> Remember that all the tones were added with the C major scale and third intervals in mind.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Using the same procedure we derived the 1-chord and 2-chord with, you can derive any scale tone chord in any key as long as you keep the major scale of that key in mind and third intervals as well.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, we&#8217;ll go a step further into learning how passing chords (chromatic chords) in the key are derived.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions, comments, and contributions, feel free to drop them in the comment section.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the next lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re already familiar with the number system, but are interested in learning how the right hand chords are derived, then this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":22381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-piano","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&quot;I&#039;ve Understood The Number System.
