\n Chords that are built on major scale<\/strong> are simply the chord of each note on that particle major scale. For example, in C Major Scale, the notes are:
\n 
\n C, D, E, F, G, A and B.
\n 
\n By applying the formula of Major Chord (or Triad) which is 1 – 3 – 5, the notes for the C chord are C- E- G. And, the notes of D chord are D – F – A; and the notes of E chord are E – G – B, see below:
\n 
\n\u2013 **C major (C-E-G)**
\n\u2013 **D minor (D-F-A)**
\n\u2013 **E minor (E-G-B)**
\n\u2013 **F major (F-A-C)**
\n\u2013 **G major (G-B-D)**
\n\u2013 **A minor (A-C-E)**
\n\u2013 **B diminished (B-D-F)**

\nThe formula of Minor chord<\/a> (Root-3HS-4HS).]
\n 
\n The next chord is the chord of the second note which is D (in the C Major scale), and by applying the formula of 1-3-5, we’ll play D-F-A, but since D-F-A is Root-3HS-4HS, so the D chord is a D minor chord. [Review: Minor Chord<\/a>]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
