What chords work well with G?
Group 1 – G, C, D, and Em – (Key of G Major, All Open Chords) The good ole' G, C, and D, combo with the Em sometimes thrown in. The G, C, and D combination is the first group of chords I learned to play as a total beginner. This is the 1, 4, 5, and 6 chords in the key of G Major.
What chords should I use to write a song?
C – D – E – F – G – A – B
Chords work in much the same way. If we know the notes of a certain key, we can determine which chords fit in that key as well. We can then use these chords to compose songs, because we know that they work together.
What were the 3 chords that were most commonly used in compositions?
The I (tonic), IV (subdominant) and V (dominant) chords (primary triads) together encompass all seven tones of the tonic's major scale. These three chords are a simple means of covering many melodies without the use of passing notes. There are tens of thousands of songs written with I, IV and V chords.
What chords work with scales?
Here's the main concept: the chords associated with a scale are the ones whose notes are all contained into the scale. For instance the C major chord is C, E, G, and all these notes are in the C major scale. To make an example of a chord NOT in the scale, let's consider the D major chord: its notes are D, F#, A.
