By now, you should be familiar with 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=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can easily come up with the C major chord by isolating the first, third, and fifth tones (which are C, E, and G):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is the first tone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE is the third tone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG is the fifth tone:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, that&#8217;s the C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and every major chord can also be formed this way.<\/p>\n<p>Time isn&#8217;t on our side today for me to show you the components of the major chord and why it&#8217;s called the major chord but you can check this lesson out: <a

Chords<\/h2>\n<p>There are a lot of things the beginner is overwhelmed with and I know this for sure because I was once a beginner.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to learning chords, the beginner is faced with learning major chords, minor chords, diminished chords, and augmented chords starting from every key note on the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>If you do the math, that&#8217;s 48 chords altogether:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>12 major chords<\/p>\n<p>12 minor chords<\/p>\n<p>12 diminished chords<\/p>\n<p>12 augmented chords<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, instead of getting overwhelmed with all these chords, I&#8217;m saying that you should focus on learning and mastering major chords and that&#8217;s just 25% of all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/the-fantastic-four-are-you-finding-it-difficult-to-master-these-48-triads\">fantastic four chords<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Reason #1 &#8212; <em>&#8220;Major Chords Are Primary Chords&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>In the major key, the major chords are known as the primary chords of the key and this means that a lot of the chord progression and harmony in the major key are derived from the major chords.<\/p>\n<p>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=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the three major chords in the key are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=CCCC66&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=CCCC66&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=CCCC66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and the basic harmony of the key revolves around these chords and that&#8217;s why they are called the primary chords and every other chord is secondary to these major chords.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In A Nutshell&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can accompany songs, play tons of chord progressions, and do a whole lot more with major chords and even if they&#8217;re all you know, you can get away with basic hymns, nursery rhymes, anthems, folk songs, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If all the chords you know in the key of C major are the primary chords (which are also the major chords), you have the basic information you need to get started and get going.<\/p>\n<h3>Reason #2 &#8212; <em>&#8220;Major Chords Are A Reference To The Formation Of Other Chord Types&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Thank you for your time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Questions, suggestions, and contributions are anticipated and I&#8217;ll keep an eye in the comment section.<\/p>\n<p>Special appreciation goes to our founder, Jermaine Griggs (who is also my role-model) for the opportunity to share with you today on the major
