Hello friends,

and welcome to session #1 of a seven part series breaking down the notes and chords in your natural major keys. In this lesson I'll be showing you how the A major scale can be converted to "chordal form" as we learn common positions of the Amaj, Bm, C#m, Dmaj, Emaj, F#m, and G# diminished chords. Let's get started!

Thank you. Your lessons on the "basics" are always great. I'm very happy I am a tipper to this. For little money we get a lot. Another satisfied customer from Australia.

Rob, I'm going through each of these Mastering Major Keys lessons. For awhile now, I've been documenting chord progressions when I see something new. This lesson and the comments had me thinking in more general terms. For example, from your A Major lesson, I jotted these down: 1,4,5 (Blues) 2,5,1 (Jazz) 1,3,4 (????) 1,6,4,5 (Pop) Do you have a more complete list you can share? -Pete

That 1,3,5 is a common R&B and Americana progression. It’s been used in The Weight by The Band and also “Crazy Love.” By Van Morrison. Other common progressions include: 2561 - Jazz 1564 - Pop/gospel 1251 - Country, Traditional Mexican Music. A personal favorite of mine especially when you through in a minor 4 chord.

Thanks Geoffrey, my goal is to provide something that has real value, but have enough patrons that I can keep it super cheap. Glad you’re happy with my content!

Thank you so much Buddy. Sometimes I take a step back and look at all the lessons I’ve done... I am feeling a sense of pride in the body of work. There’s so much more I want to add, but definitely feel like I’m on the cusp of creating a special learning experience. Glad you’re still enjoying my work. Expect more course based curriculum in the days ahead!

Hi Rob, I’ve really enjoyed lessons in the major keys. Are you planning another series for the minor scales? I really enjoy these types of lessons. I was reading that typically you always have the 1 chord from the scale you’re using. Could you do like a 6.2.3?

Hey Jim, Glad you’re digging these tutorials! Yes, you can definitely come across tunes without the 1 chord present and I will be doing a follow up series on minor keys for sure!

What happens when the key is the minot version. Like do the chords and notes change if I want to play in the key of A minor?

swiftlessons

Yes, great question. A major key can be made minor by flattening the 3rd, 6th, and 7th notes of the major scale. That will result in a natural minor scale. There is a thing called relatives too, the C major scale will have the same notes as the A minor scale.

A guitar teacher suggested learning every other letter of the alphabet A to G, including (wrapping the G back to A). Then, you can recall notes of triads, and 7th cords. And, knowing the root, add sharps or flats as need. Doing that I remembered an elementary school age teacher teaching that on the music staff, the spaces spell FACE, and the lines are Ever, Good, Boy, Does, Fine. Also note: the F of FACE, and F of Fine, wrap, as do the E of FACE, and the E of Every, providing an easy mnemonic for every other letter of the wrapped A to G alphabet.
