Looking for a Chord Chart

[ericmeyer4]

Well more of a progression chart really.

I use to have a chart that showed different progressions.

Say you were using C and you wanted a 1-4-5 progression you would look at the chart find C then find the 4 and 5 chords.

Does anyone know where I can find such a chart? I use to have one but I don't seem to have it on the computer any more.

Thanks,
Eric

It'll be much better for you in the long run to just remember exactly where everything is.

1- C
4- F
5- G

Learn the fretboard, and just sit down to memories it. It'll feel much more natural to you after when you can do it without thinking. Or better yet, make your own.

True, but I need to know where to start first lol.

If I can look at it and figure out how they did it I will remember

Edit

Wait... that is just whole steps.

That is much easier. Just need to do some counting. lol

Just look at a piano picture, that is if you know the notes on a piano. There are half steps between 2 and 3, 5 and 6 in the minor keys and half steps between 3 and 4, 7 and 8 in the major keys.

Circle of fifths, maybe? (sorry about the hard to see image)

Re: Looking for a Chord Chart

The numbers correlate to the degrees of the major scale. A 1-3-5 progression is talking about the root of the key, the third, then resolving to the 5th. In C that becomes

C Major, E minor, G Major.

You can find out if it is major or minor by the degree of the scale. 1, 4, and 5 are all major. The 5th is referred to as the dominant, and with the 7th added it becomes a dominant 7th.

2, 3, and 6 are all minor. The chord built off 7 is diminished, and is unstable sounding. As with the 7th in a song, it's to build tension or lead into a strong tone.

Recap

1 Major
2 Minor
3 Minor
4 Major
5 Major (Dominant)
6 Minor
7 Diminished

Just ask if there's anything you're having trouble grasping and I'll try my best to help.

It's so pattern based on the guitar fret board...one thing in c becomes d when moved up two frets. The four is always one string down/same fret, or two frets back/one string up, and so on. It works for all the keys the same with different tones from the same pattern.
