This pattern is repeated for all 7 notes in the scale, resulting in 7 triad chords.Īlthough the above method identifies each triads notes from the scale used - it does not identify the complete chord name including its quality. the 1st, 3rd and 5th positions relative to that 2nd root note. The second triad below will repeat this, but this time starting on the 2nd note, so its notes will be F, Ab and C - ie. Triad chords are built using the 1st, 3rdand 5th notes of the scale, so the first triad below will constructed a chord using notes Eb, G and Bb. The triad chord will be built using only the notes of the scale we are interested in. Starting from the 1st scale note, each lesson step below will take each note in turn and construct a triad chord using that note as the root / starting note of that chord. The piano keyboard below contains the notes of the Eb major scale. When the two notes match perfectly, the pulsation stops and the two notes sound, as one.This step shows the scale note names that will be used to construct all triad chords that harmonize with those scale notes. As you tune the string, the pitches get closer and the pulsation slows. If your string is slightly out of tune, you will hear a pulsating sound between the two notes. Click the string you want to tune, and play the corresponding string on your bass guitar so the two notes sound together.
