CHORDS

A chord is simply 3 or more (particular) notes that when played together make a ‘FULL’ sound.
If this full sound is played rhythmically and various chords are used in a certain sequence, a
nice background sound can be created for melodies or lyrics (vocals).

Let’s play a very basic chord - the chord of C

Use your right hand - THUMB - MIDDLE FINGER - SMALL FINGER This isn’t easy to start with but
TRY TRY TRY to use these fingers, it won’t take long to get used to it
The C chord is comprised of white keys. It is the first chord you should learn. It is also called "C major.
As a beginner, think of it as the center of the universe.
“Blue Moon” are the following progressions: Fmi7/ Bb7/ Eb/// in Line 5 and Abmi7/Db7/ Gb///
in Line 6. You will also notice the duration of each chord before it changes, i.e. Chords II and V
have the exact same number of beats (2 beats each) while Chord I usually has twice as many (4
beats).
This applies to all contemporary music. It is common for chords to change every two beats within
a 4/4 bar or measure, or sometimes a chord may last for a whole bar or two.
