Music Chord Theory Part II

| | Comments (0)
Here are more common chords that everyone must memorize and then learn in all keys. 
Learn one key well then later transpose to all other keys one or two at a time. 
# = one half step or fret higher in tone towards the body of the guitar or bass)

First I will give you the: chord name, number formula and then the note names. 
Remember to memorize all three.

C augmented also called just C+= R, 3rd, #5   = C - E - G#  
                                                                                                                                                                                                             
C dominant 7 also called just C7 = R, 3rd, 5th, b7th   = C - E - G - Bb


C major 7th also called just Cmaj = R, 3rd, 5th, 7th = C - E - G - B


C minor 7th also called Cm7 = R, b3rd, 5th, b7th = C - Eb - G - Bb


Also b = flat - one half step (or one fret) lower in tone towards head of guitar or bass.






Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
