I should be able to figure out all the notes that are used in a major scale to make up a chord...
Looking back at the first part of lesson 7 and a (major) scale as numbers
gives me 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 from a given the root note.
By placing my fingers on the guitar at the root note shown in the image below

A table of notes in a scale is constructed from the scale pattern above where 1 is the root note starting point and then looking at the distance between the notes. 1 to 2 is one step/tone, 2 to 3 is one step/tone, 3 to 4 is half a step/tone etc.
I should be able to figure em out and draw them all up in the table below (and I'm going to force myself to do it to make sure I get it!)
| 1 | root | C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B |
| 2 | minor | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B | C | C# |
| 3 | minor | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B | C | C# | D | D# |
| 4 | major | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B | C | C# | D | D# | E |
| 5 | major | G | G# | A | A# | B | C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# |
| 6 | relative minor | A | A# | B | C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# |
| 7 | major (can be flattened for a blues sound) | B | C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# |
| 8 | octave | C | C# | D | D# | E | F | F# | G | G# | A | A# | B |
HTML table ALERT :)
it has been a long time since I've done one of those!
Now to make the Major chord you need the 1, 3, & 5th notes in that scale.
Easy so far!
To make the Major 6 you need the 1, 3, 5 & 6th notes in that scale.
I'm still following!
To make the Major 7 you need the 1, 3, 5, & 7th notes in that scale.
Yes, thankfully, it is that easy :)
To make the Minor chord you flatten the 3rd so you need 1, 3b & 5th notes in the scale.
Minor 7 is 1, 3b, 5 & 7thb
Suspended 2 is 1, 2 & 5th
Suspended 4 is 1, 4 & 5th
C or D is an easy one to try that out on. Play the D and then try to add those notes in and magically you will be making those chords.
I like magic!
To be sure there are plenty of other chords but this is a good of enough start for me in my effort to rule the world and understand the beginning of chord building on a guitar.
