Get Organized with the Chords

Get organized with the chords: All you need as a Tyro Musician

C

hord is known as the three or more notes played at the same time. Chords provide the harmony that supports the melody of a song. Chords are sometimes shown in musical staff. I will get into that part later.

[[You wanna learn how to read the staff notation? (Don’t tell me that you don’t know what ‘Staff Notation’ means!) I have posted a simple method of understanding the music Staff Notation. CLICK HERE.

And you certainly don’t wanna miss the Easiest way to learn within less than 10 minutes to find out the chords in the song with a Key (Not that key for the lock!) CLICK HERE to learn to find the chords on your own.

The chord’s type is indicated by a suffix like m, 5, 7, add9, maj9, etc. There are lots of chord types and their corresponding suffices. Wait, don’t worry. Music is not about panic. You can get into it with a little practice and concentration and strong determination. The chords are easy to recognize and to memorize….whatever! Following table is somehow more than its previous version of chord suffices and their description. I am not the master  in music but the following is catholic and common. You can experiment your own too.

That’s all for now folks. Next time, I will prepare a lesson for playing guitar through musical staff notation. Guitar tab is too much simple. Now be prepared for the second level of Music learning.

Keep Rocking!
