![]() We’ll use “C” as the root note in all of them for ease, but you can work out the equivalent chord in any key by counting the intervals between the notes (to see what keys there are and which notes are in them, check out this page). If you want to really save time, you’re probably most likely to use numbers 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9, so skip to them. There are loads of different types of chord, but below are the 13 you’re most likely to use, how they sound, and how to make them in ANY key. Ok, so now we have the basics, we can learn how to make chords. Your DAW will only display the black notes as”#” and never as”♭” because a) it doesn’t know what key you’re in and b) the “#” symbol is native to software, whereas the “♭” is not. Just remember a “#” means play one half-step ABOVE the written note, and “♭” means play one half-step BELOW. A major contains the following notes: A, C, and E. ![]() The middle black key in that group of three is the A. To do so, look at the keyboard and focus on the black keys in groups of three. The black notes are called “sharps” (“#”) or “flats” (“♭”) depending on what key you’re in, but you don’t need to worry about that too much. To play the A major chord, first start by finding the root of the chord: A. We can see in the image above that D3 is a two half-steps above C3, E3 is two half-steps above that, F3 is ONE half-step above E3, G3 is two half-steps above F3, A3 is two half-steps above G3, B3 is two half-steps above A3 and C4 (the next octave) is one half-step above B3. On your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) piano-roll editor – which is basically a virtual piano – it looks like this: Cmaj, G7, or Emin) and the bass note of the chords inversion, separated by a slash. 1st (or “root”), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th. Slash chords are simpler: they consist of a chords name (e.g. Each note in the key is assigned a number.
