Although I&#8217;ve forgotten a lot of things that happened while I was still getting started with the basic theory and fundamentals, approach to the determination of melodies, playing songs and more, I haven&#8217;t forgotten how overwhelming it is to learn chords.<\/p>\n<p>I came across certain books with several hundreds of chords to learn and on every key and I was overwhelmed with tons of information about chords and I struggled to memorize them.<\/p>\n<p>Few years down the line, I figured out that there are just 24 common chords that every beginner should get started with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission:<\/strong> Remember, as a beginner, you&#8217;re just trying to get started and you don&#8217;t need to be overwhelmed with hundreds of chords. you just need a handful to actually &#8220;get started&#8221; before every other thing can fall in place.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to take you further into this lesson, I&#8217;ll be sharing with you on the concept of common chords and if you already know what common chords are, still read on.<\/p>\n<h2>The Concept Of Common Chords<\/h2>\n<p>A good way to start off in this segment is with an explanation on the perfect fifth interval and this is because the perfect fifth interval is the characteristic component of common chords.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, common chords have the perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<h3>The Perfect Fifth Interval &#8212; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The perfect fifth interval is the interval formed between the first and fifth tones of the major scale. Using the C major scale (as a reference):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the first and fifth tones are C and G respectively:<\/p>\n<p>So, C-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Now, Back To Common Chords&#8230;&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Common chords are chords that are shared by more than one key. So, when two or more keys have a particular chord in <strong>common<\/strong>, such a chord is described as a <strong>common chord<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,E,G,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is shared by the following keys:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the C major triad is the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>F major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the C major triad is the 5-chord.<\/p>\n<p>G major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,Fs,G,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the C major triad is the 4-chord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Relationship Between Common Chords And The Perfect Fifth interval<\/h3>\n<p>Common chords are triads that have the perfect fifth interval: like the major and minor triad.<\/p>\n<p>The C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the C minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;both have the perfect fifth interval (C-G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in common and that&#8217;s why they are referred to as common chords; as opposed to the C augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that has an augmented fifth (C-G#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Gs,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the C diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,Gb,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that has a diminished fifth interval (C-Gb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Gb,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, there are two common chord types: major chords and minor chords and both chords have the perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<h2>24 Common Chords For Beginners<\/h2>\n<p>There are major and minor chords to learn in this lesson. The first twelve chords on the list are major chords and are followed by twelve minor chords.<\/p>\n<p>So, you&#8217;ll have a dozen major chords and a dozen minor chords at the end of this lesson.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not using any conventional approach to chord learning in this lesson. I just want you to learn the chords and be able to play them off-heart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Please, endeavor to spell the chords. For example, even when you&#8217;re not on the keyboard, you should be able to say <em>&#8220;the C major chord consists of C, E, and G.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<h3>A Dozen Major Chords<\/h3>\n<p>The C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Db major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe D major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Fs,A,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Eb major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,G,Bb,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe E major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Gs,B,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe F major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Gb major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,Bb,Db,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Ab major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,C,Eb,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe A major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,E,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Bb major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,F,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe B major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,Ds,Fs,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A Dozen Minor Chords<\/h3>\n<p>C minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC# minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,E,Gs,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEb minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,Gb,Bb,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF# minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,A,Cs,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG# minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,B,Ds,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,E,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBb minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,Db,F,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nB minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,Fs,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s action time.<\/p>\n<p>There are twenty-four hours in a day and twenty-four chords to learn in this post.

you&#8217;d be done mastering all the chords in one month &#8212; twenty and four of them.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you learn one major chord and one minor chord every month, you&#8217;ll be done with all the chords by this time next year.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s entirely up to you to decide how quickly you want to go past the common chords and start learning augmented and diminished chords.<\/p>\n<p>All
