EKS Lesson Three Developing scales and triads
Now that we are familiar with our D major scale, let us play the D major triad, forming the notes from our scale as usual. Once comfortable, go on to Exercise 11 and develop using the multimedia files as usual.
Figure 11. Table of D major scale
| D | E | F# | G | A | B | C# | D |
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | Octave |

Try playing the individual notes from the triad and then forming the triad as a chord. Again, this will help you learn the notes and develop your ability to form chords whilst playing.
