![]() For me, feels more useful to try seeing where tonics seem to change for these longer progressions. There would be many chord progression that can do this, but I'm not sure that interpreting then this way has much value (but i'd be very interested to hear if people disagree). So, coming back to the original question, touching all chords in a key. ![]() The net result is that there's a beautiful "meta chord progression" where the tonic keeps changing (2-5-1 is powerful like that.) All piano chords contain a root note - this is the note the chord is named after. And same happens for the second 2-5-1, we feel like we key changed to Emin. On the piano, this means you push down more than one key at the same time. For example, autumn leaves often starts with Amin, and that feels like the tonic until you reach the Gmaj, and realize there was just a 2-5-1, then it feels like we're in Gmaj. It gets even more interesting than that, though, because starting on the ii-chord already created some ambiguity about what key we should feel like the piece is in. there's a new temporary perceived key change. So after one of those 2-5-1 sequences, it already feels like we resolved to a new tonic, i.e. another interpretation of that chord progression is stringing together two 2-5-1 standard jazz progressions with one connecting chord in between. ![]() We could just see it as ii - V - I - IV - vii - iii - vi - vi7, but what does that tell us?. You may also find it helpful, if you're learning piano and piano chords to see all of the chords on the keys themselves.So it's totally reasonable to ask this question, but I worry it may be missing some of the deep richness and complexity of longer chord progressions - when you have lengthy chord progressions like this, it's very likely to have smaller parts that would actually be better to interpret as a temporary key change.Īutumn leaves is a great example. They are not all in root position and will help you to work out which chords you remember the notes of and which ones you don't.Ĭheck out the major chords quiz page here. We have created a little quiz or game for you to practice coming up with the notes in the different major chords. To learn some more kinds of chords, go to minor chords or back to chord charts. Learning and knowing these will get you a long way. These major chords are the most common ones you’ll come across when playing a song. It shows the chords in a slightly different way and you may find it useful. This is the original chart of the major chords I published here on Piano Lessons Info.

If you want to access the full playlist, just click the title of the video below and it will take you to Youtube where you'll see the full playlist. ![]() I'd recommend learning every major chord as it will create a very strong foundation for moving forward with chords. I have created a play list of how to play all the major chords and you can use that below to learn them. How to Play Major Chords - Video Playlist They are a foundational aspect to chords, understanding chord names and formulas and the basis for a lot of theory. If this is you, a good thing to learn about is key signatures. You can play ANY key on the guitar, its just these specific keys are. Why have two names? Why not just have one? Why not make it easier? The reasons for this, is that the chords in this key are more suitable for the guitar. When I explain this to my piano students, some really struggle with the logic of it all. We don't have a key called A# so that is why you won't find an A# major chord here. You could technically call almost any chord by multiple names, like A# major and Bb major but the chords here are based off of key signatures. You would be play the exact same notes on the piano however. They are essentially the same as each other but have different names. As you can see, some of the major chords overlap.
