Left column is how you might see a chart written that isnt settled on any particular key Column 2 is the harmonized C scale--harmonized into 7th chords Chords have to have 3 tones. 1, 3, and 5 are basic triads If you harmonize with one more 3rd, the chords become 7th chords In the major scale, the chord colors 1 chords= major 7 (1,3,5,7) ! ! 2 chord = minor 7 (1, at3, 5 , at 7) 3 chord = minor 7 (1, at3, 5 , at 7) ! 4 chord = major 7 (1,3,5,7) ! 5 chord = dominant 7 (1, 3, 5, at 7) ! 6 chord = minor 7 (1, at3, 5 , at 7) ! 7 chord = minor 7 at 5 ( (1, at3, at5 , at 7) ! If you go beyond the octave and add chord tones,the name doesnt change i.e. if the 3rd or 5th is more than an octave above the route, the name stays the same Extensions ! ! If you play the 2nd and octave higher it is called the 9th ! If you play the 4th and octave higher, it is called the ! 11th If you play the 6th and octave higher it is called the 13th
