3-11 / 9-11. In music theory, a major chord is a chord that has a root, a major third, and a perfect fifth. When a chord comprises only these three notes, it is called a major triad. For example, the major triad built on C, called a C major triad, has pitches C–E–G: Audio playback is not supported in your browser.
IV M7 –V 7 –iii 7 –vi chord progression in C. Play ⓘ One potential way to resolve the chord progression using the tonic chord: ii–V 7 –I. Play ⓘ. The Royal Road progression (王道進行, ōdō shinkō), also known as the IV M7 –V 7 –iii 7 –vi progression or koakuma chord progression (小悪魔コード進行, koakuma kōdo shinkō), [1] is a common chord progression within ...
When the guitar is strummed without fretting even one string, a C-major chord is sounded. By barring all of the strings for one fret (from one to eleven), one finger suffices to fret the other eleven major-chords. Flattening this open tuning's open-note E to E ♭ changes the open chord from C-major to C-minor, so producing the cross-note tuning
Regular tunings. For regular guitar-tunings, the distance between consecutive open-strings is a constant musical-interval, measured by semitones on the chromatic circle. The chromatic circle lists the twelve notes of the octave. Makes it difficult to play music written for standard tuning.
The standard tuning's irregular major-third is replaced by a perfect fourth in all-fourths tuning, which has the open notes E2-A2-D3-G3-C4-F4. The note layouts on the fretboard of a guitar tuned in perfect 4ths, with arrows that show where the same note continues on a higher-pitched string.
Since blue notes are alternate inflections, strictly speaking there can be no one blues scale, [8] but the scale most commonly called "the blues scale" comprises the minor pentatonic scale and an additional flat 5th scale degree: C E ♭ F G ♭ G B ♭ C. [9] [10] [11]
Chromaticism. Chromaticism is a compositional technique interspersing the primary diatonic pitches and chords with other pitches of the chromatic scale. In simple terms, within each octave, diatonic music uses only seven different notes, rather than the twelve available on a standard piano keyboard.
F major is the home key of the English horn, the basset horn, the horn in F, the trumpet in F and the bass Wagner tuba. Thus, music in F major for these transposing instruments is written in C major. Most of these sound a perfect fifth lower than written, with the exception of the trumpet in F which sounds a fourth higher.
