Re: Handy Reference

 

Self Taught musicians are often puzzled

by chord arranging , or finding the notes

of a chord.

 

The circle of 5ths is helpful, but hard to

memorize, and you

never have a chart when you need it...

 

So: Use your Hand !!!

 

It's always there !

 

Songwriting:

 

Chord Construction: 

 

Also:

The Key of C has no sharps (#) 

or flats (b)

There is a 2 fret whole step between

every note...

 

EXCEPT:

 

E-F one fret

 

B-C one fret

 

C     D     E        F     G     A     B      C

    1      1    1/2    1     1      1    1/2

 

That's the pattern for all 12 major scales

 

1      1    1/2    1     1      1    1/2

 

Relative Minor Scales use the same

pattern, except starting on the 6th note

instead of the first.

 

1   1/2   1   1   1/2   1   1

 

You can build any Major or Minor scale

from any note on the fretboard, using

this method.

 

Also, to make any note sharp,

move it up one fret.

 

To make any note flat,

move it down one fret

 

a  C  chord moved up two frets becomes D...

but you have to move the open notes too.

 

That's what Barre Chords are for.
