    MORE CHORDS

    MORE SONGS

    1-43
    MORE CHORDS - MORE SONGS

    The C family chords may be very easy to play but


    unfortunately there aren’t an awful lot of songs that
    JUST use these chords.

    Eventually you’ll need to know all the chords so that


    you will be able to play ANY tune.

    But don’t panic...


    You can learn them in easy stages

    Let’s learn another four chords

    D, E, A and Bb(B flat)

    1-44
    D, E, A
    You can easily form the four new chords using four chords you ALREADY know

    FIRST play the 3 minor chords you know - Dm, Em and Am

    Dm Em Am

    Then, transform each of these chords into D, E and A


    by simply moving your MIDDLE finger up onto the black notes as follows

    * * *

    D E A

    The 3 new chords D, E, and A are ‘major’ chords


    Notice the difference between the SOUNDS of the minor and the major

    MINOR is SAD - MAJOR is BRIGHTER, happier

    CHORD TRICK

    Notice that to turn the MINOR chords to MAJOR chords you


    raised the middle note (the 3rd) up one note

    Obviously this also works in reverse - you could turn a MAJOR chord
    to a MINOR by simply lowering the middle note (the 3rd) by one note

    Try this with the chords of C, F and G

    MINOR is DOWN (3rd to the left) - MAJOR is UP (3rd to the right)


    1-45
    b
    B (B flat)
    Now it’s time to make the new chord of Bb (B flat)

    First play the chord you already know - Bo (B diminished)


    Remember it’s the last in the C Family (play it BELOW middle C)

    Bo

    Then, transform this chord into Bb


    by simply moving your THUMB down onto the black note (Bb key) as follows

    Bb

    Bb is used MUCH more frequently than Bo

    1-46
    You now know 11 chords!

    PLAY them and SAY them

    “C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bo”


    The all WHITE KEYS C Family chords

    b
    and the four new chords

    D, E, A and B
