Major and minor piano chords Piano chords, or any chord for that matter, are formed by combining two or more scale tones (notes). You now know the tones (notes) that comprise all 12 major scales and you can play these scales smoothly (not necessarily quickly…yet!). It is now time to apply this knowledge and begin combining the scale tones to form chords. You may also see this referred to as combining two or more intervals (if you are not familiar with this term go to major scales for an explanation). The simplest and most common type of piano chords is called the triad. As the name implies a triad is composed of 3 notes from the major scale. If you lower the 3rd tone one half step it becomes a minor triad. So, based upon this a C minor chord would consist of the notes C, Eb, and G. Now, when you practice these major chords, I recommend you form them using the 1st, 3rd, and 5th fingers of your right hand.

On-Line Piano Lessons 10 Essentials On Guitar Improvisation Photo by Simone13 AKA John Pastorello Besides writing and playing songs I just love improvising. When I practice improvising I always first pour myself a cup of green tea, I put on some folk music (e.g. Ray La Montagne, Damien Rice, Stephen Fretwell, Glen Hansard, Sheryl Crow, etc.) on Last.fm or Spotify.com and then I start to improvise over these songs. Other times I practice melodic patterns, triads, arpeggios, licks, everything that will spice up my improvisation skills. Improvising is one of the most fun and fulfilling aspects of guitar playing, but also something that requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Here are 10 basic essentials that will help you become a better improviser. 1 – Pentatonics / blues Learn to play the pentatonic/blues scale all over the neck in all five shapes. 2 – Major Scale Next to the pentatonic scale, the major scale is the most important scale to learn. Once you can play the scale in all positions, connect the different positions with each other.
