Introduction
Welcome to the Chords Section for Beginner Students!
Chords are one of the basic building blocks of all songs. When you are listening to your favorite song on the radio, the artist is singing words to a background instrumental. This background instrumental is basically various instruments that are mainly playing chords.
Chords are basically 2 or more notes played together or near together. In this section we will be learning about triads, which are three note chords. You will hear chords in virtually every song you listen to. There are three lessons in this section, "Playing the Major Chord", "Three Primary Chords", and "12 Bar Blues Chord Progression". A detailed description of each lesson is listed below.
| Lesson # | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lesson 9 | Playing the Major Chord | |
| Lesson 10 | Three Primary Chords | |
| Lesson 11 | 12 Bar Blues Chord Progression |
