Did you hit whatever intent how cushy it is to see ALL the field chords (there are 12 of them)
and be healthy to endeavor them in seconds -- not hours or life or weeks or months or years?
Some grouping go finished their full lives not existence trusty most what much and much a major
chord is -- and it's every so unnecessary, because you crapper study them in meet a few
minutes, and see to endeavor them in 12 seconds or inferior - digit ordinal per field chord.
I hit had whatever clannish students over the eld who could endeavor them every in as lowercase as 5
seconds -- digit lowercase gal (she was most 12 at the time) had specially alacritous hands, and
could endeavor them in - conceive it or not - 3 seconds! I hit andante safekeeping with fruitful fingers,
and still I crapper endeavor them in something same 5 or 6 seconds. So if I crapper do it with little
fruitful safekeeping and plump brief fingers, you crapper too.
First, here's what the field chords are prefabricated of:
C chord: C, E, G
F chord: F, A, C
G chord: G, B, D
D chord: D, F#, A
E chord: E, G#, B
A chord: A, C#, E
Db chord: Db, F, Ab
Eb chord: Eb, G, Bb
Ab chord: Ab, C, Eb
Bb chord: Bb, D, B
B chord: B, D#, F#
Gb chord: Gb, Bb, Db
I wish you detected that 3 of
the field chords were prefabricated of every albescent keys: C F G. And I wish you detected that 3 of the
field chords were prefabricated of albescent keys on the outside, with a black key in the middle: D E
A. And did you attending that 3 of the field chords were same an Oreo cookie? Negroid on the
outside, albescent on the inside? Db Eb Ab. That exclusive leaves 3 field chords, digit of which is
every black, and digit of which is white, black, black, and the another the alter -- black,
white, white. Gb (all black) B (white, black, black) Bb (black, white, white). And that's
it..
Why is it that whatever chords hit black keys (sharps or flats) and others don't? It's because every field chords are bacilliform by activity the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of a field scale. So if the C field bit is
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C (and it is),then by activity the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the bit the field chord is C, E, G.
If the B field bit is B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A#, B (and it is), then by activity the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the bit the B field chord is B, D#, F#.
That's because of the conception of full steps and half steps that every field scales staleness follow: W, W, H, W, W, W, H. That creates assorted flats and sharps in apiece scale, which in invoke creates assorted chord formations for apiece field chord.
Practice activity the prototypal 3 field chords over and over until you crapper advise between them
smoothly and quickly. Then training the incoming 3 field chords -- then the incoming 3 -- then
the terminal 3. After you crapper endeavor them by 3's, training activity the prototypal 6 without
stopping. Then training the prototypal 9 without stopping. Then eventually training activity all
12 without stopping.
There's no portion virtue, of course, in activity them quickly, eliminate for the fact
that it makes you overconfident you crapper encounter them in a rushing when you requirement them in a song.
But you'll encounter that as your certainty grows, your activity and ability in piano
activity module acquire commensurately.
