IT’S TIME TO LEARN MORE CHORDS

BUT FIRST
A REALLY USEFUL
MEMORY TRICK

FOR ALL CHORDS


4-3
The ALL Chords Memory Trick

As you now know, there are 12 tones on the piano

You can build a major and a minor chord on each of these tones
Which makes 24 basic major and minor chords

How on earth are you going to remember them all?

THE ALL CHORDS MEMORY TRICK

If you play all the 3 note major OR minor chords in your


RIGHT hand in ‘root’ position (THUMB on ROOT note)

you will notice that - except for the 4 ‘B’ chords (Bb, Bbm, B and Bm)

the other 20 chords ALWAYS have the same colour key


for the 1st and 5th of the chord
(in Root position the 1st and 5th is THUMB and FIFTH finger)

Then all you have to memorise are the position of the ‘middle’ notes
(the ‘3rd’)

With MINOR chords the middle note is to the left


With MAJOR chords the middle note is to the right

Check this by playing all the chords on the next page

This also makes the four B chords easy to remember because your THUMB and
5th finger will be on DIFFERENT coloured keys.
4-4
ALL 24 ‘basic MAJOR and MINOR chords
Notice that except for the 4 ‘B’ chords (Bb, Bbm, B and Bm) the other 20
chords ALWAYS have the same colour key for the 1st and 5th of the chord
(in Root position the 1st and 5th is thumb and 5th finger)

A Note about using
Ultimate-Guitar for chords and lyrics

I have explained in Section 1, that if you want to apply the rhythms to complete
songs you can get the rest of the chords and lyrics on various chord websites online.

I recommend Ultimate-Guitar.com because they pay royalties to artists for use of


their songs. But please be aware that any ‘black key’ chords on Ultimate Guitar BY
DEFAULT are shown as sharps - not flats

So if I show a progression with all flat chords (like Bb, Eb or Ab) - on ultimate guitar
the chords will show as sharp chords (ie A#, F#, G#)

For example - if I give a few bars of 'Auld Lang Syne' in the key of F major (which
has Bb in it) - when you go to ultimate guitar to get the rest of the lyrics and chords
you will notice they (incorrectly) use A# instead of Bb

So you need to CHANGE THE SETTINGS IN ULTIMATE GUITAR

Simply click on the 3 vertical


dots at the bottom of the
screen and then choose
'USE FLATS' from the menu

And remember - if your next


search is for a song that has
SHARP chords then you need
to change this back again
4-7

A note about the following


Practice Progressions

For some of the following progressions I give you two


versions - one WITHOUT inversions and one WITH
inversions

Because the B chords can all be played in root position


near the middle of the keyboard they don’t need to be
played as inversions very often
4-8

ALL THE ‘B’s

Bb (A#), Bbm (A#m),


B, Bm
4-9

Bb (A#), Bbm (A#m), B, Bm


The ‘B’ chords are actually easy to remember because they are noticeably
different from ALL the other (root position) chords.

All other chords have the SAME colour key for ROOT note and 5th

But the B chords have DIFFERENT colour keys for ROOT note and 5th

so if the ROOT is WHITE - the 5th will be BLACK


or if the ROOT is BLACK - the 5th will be WHITE

Then it’s just a matter of memorising the middle note (the 3rd)

Notice that B is the OPPOSITE shape to Bb


Bb = BLACK + 2 WHITE notes
B = WHITE + 2 BLACK notes

(A#)

To make the MINOR’S simply move the 3rd (MIDDLE FINGER)


ONE note to the LEFT

(A#m)

NOTE - The reason I use Bb and Bbm rather than A# and A#m is that you will mostly
encounter Bb and Bbm in song books.

SIX NEW CHORDS

Cm, Fm, Gm
and
Db(C#), Eb(D#), Ab(G#)
4-45

Cm, Fm, Gm
You can easily form these three new chords using three chords you
ALREADY know

FIRST play the 3 major chords you know - C, F and G

Then, transform each of these chords into Cm, Fm, and Gm


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

Notice that they all look very alike.

IN ROOT POSITION

The ROOT note and 5th note are WHITE


The middle note is BLACK

They all have the same triangle formation

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

MAJOR is BRIGHTER, happier


MINOR is SAD
4-46

Db (C#), Eb (D#), Ab (G#)


The easiest way to learn these three chords is to notice that they all
look very alike.

(C#)
IN ROOT POSITION

The ROOT note is BLACK


The 5th is ALSO BLACK
The middle note is WHITE (D#)

They all have the same


upside down triangle
formation
(G#)

OTHER USEFUL MEMORY TRICKS

• Notice there are TWO black keys between the ROOT and the 5th
• Notice that in both Db and Ab the white key is the one on the ‘right’ of the
two white keys. Think ‘right for major - left for minor’

A note about the following


Practice Progressions

In order to learn these new chords you may have to


play them in ROOT POSITION for some time until you
get used to their formation

Later you can try INVERSIONS

For many of the following progressions I give you two


versions - one WITHOUT inversions and one WITH
inversions

In the later chord box progressions I have coloured the


progressions without inversions BLUE (so you won’t get
mixed up)

Last THREE basic chords


Dbm (C#m), Ebm (D#m), Abm (G#m)
You can easily form these three new chords using three chords you
ALREADY know

FIRST play the 3 major chords you know - Db, Eb, and Ab

Db (C#) Eb (D#) Ab (G#)

Then, transform each of these chords into Dbm, Abm, and Ebm
by simply moving your MIDDLE finger DOWN one key as follows

Dbm (C#m) Ebm (D#m) Abm (G#m)

NOTE
In the following practice progressions we will mostly use the
‘sharp’ version of these chords C#m, D#m and G#m

This is because many of the songs are written in keys


that have sharps not flats

PRACTICING
YOUR CHORDS AND

HOW TO PRACTICE ALL YOUR CHORDS


The Circle Of Fifths

It is really important that you know all your chords and their inversions.

Using the chords in songs is helpful but if you really want to speed up the
process you need to do set practice routines.

An excellent way to practice through ALL the chords and inversions is to


use a device called the CIRCLE OF FIFTHS

One of the most common occurrences in music of all kinds is the


movement of two chords whose Root notes are a FIFTH apart (in a
descending direction).

For instance, one of the most common progressions has FOUR chords a
fifth apart (in a descending direction)

C to Am down a fifth to Dm down a fifth to G down a fifth to C

The complete circle looks like this.

Using The Circle Of Fifths for Chord Practice

You don’t need to understand the theory behind the circle of fifths

All you need to do is memorise the sequence of letters in a COUNTER-


CLOCKWISE direction - which has the most common movement of chords

If you start at the B and move round the circle in an anti-clockwise


direction you get the following sequence

B E A D G C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb(F#)

The reason to start at the ‘B’ is that it is very easy to memorise because
the word ‘BEAD’ is in the sequence twice

B E A D G C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb(F#)

The circle of fifths contains the most common


movement of chords in all forms of music

If we take the chord progression for Autumn Leaves as an example


Observe how the circle of fifths (in an anti-clockwise direction) fits in

Am Dm G7 C F Bdim E7 Am

A D G C F B E A

NOTE - The chords can be major or minor depending on the key you are
playing in - but the sequence will still give the root note of the chord

Using The Circle Of Fifths for Chord Practice

Here are a few more examples of how the sequence is used in chord
progressions

You don’t have to play these - just look for the circle of fifths sequence

B E A D G C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb(F#)

Remember - The chords will be major or minor depending on the key you are
playing in but the sequence will still give the root note of the chord

Using The Cycle Of Fifths for Chord Practice

There are two main reasons for using the circle of fifths to practice your
chords

1. It is excellent practice for the most common movement of chords

2. It sounds great! When you play chords using the sequence it sounds like
you are playing a complete piece of music.

Remember in section 1 when you learned THE AMAZING BROKEN CHORD


BALLAD and you followed the chord progression

What you did was play a broken chord pattern using the CIRCLE OF FIFTHS
sequence (in an anticlockwise direction) and it sounded GREAT!

So you can do the same with ALL your MAJOR and MINOR chords and
inversions
