EKS Lesson Six  Chord and scale syllabus

Major triads

Exercises 1 to 3 demonstrate the chords of F major (F,A,C), E major (E,G#,B) and B major (B,D#,F#), each in turn.

Play through each exercise carefully, repeating it as necessary and make sure you are comfortable. Remember to memorise the notes of each chord. Also, make sure you play in time and follow the fingering we have learned.

As always use the multimedia files to help you understand the chords and how to play them.
