| The Key of F Major:
Skip
to chords Chords based on the F Major Scale: F, G,
A, B flat, C, D, E and F Note: It is recommended that you learn the basic chords in the key of C Major first, before learning any of the other keys, since the page for the key of C teaches the basic theory behind chord construction. More theory is included in the key of G lesson also. The rest of the lessons operate under the assumption that you already understand the theory presented in the first two lessons. The basic chords for the key of F Major are based on the triad (1st, 3rd and 5th) except for the C 7th chord which is based on four different notes. The chords in the key of F are in the same order as presented in the other keys with the only difference being that it has been transposed to a new key. So, in order to transpose something from the key of C into the current key, all you need to do is use the chart of the same number. For example: the basic chords from chart 1 in the key of C can be transposed to the basic chords in the key of F by using chart 1 of the key of F. The same is true for the remaining chord charts 2 through 5. The key of F has one flat. That is the B flat.

Explanation: Skip to 6th chords The thing to remember about diminished chords is that they can be referred to by any note that is contained within them. For example: The G Sharp Diminished Chord contains a G sharp, B, D and an F. There fore, it could also be referred to as a B Diminished, D Diminished, or an F Diminished chord in sheet music with guitar chord charts. The same rule also applies to augmented chords.
Explanation:
Skip to chords Some of you may have noticed that a sixth chord also has the same notes contained within them as its relative minor 7th. For example a C 6th has the same notes as an A Minor 7th. The only difference is usually the root tone. A C 6th has the following notes in this order: C, E, G, and A. An A Minor 7th has A, C, E and G. Notice that they have the same notes, just a different starting point.
