Theory Notes
Scales
Major = F – F – H – F -F – F – H (2-3-)
minor = F – H – F – F – H – F – F (1-2-2)
Dorian = F – H – F – F – F – H – F (1-3-1)
6th Note of the Major Scale = Relative minor
3rd Note of the Minor Scale = Relative Major

Music Theory Masterclass 1: Drilling the Basics (How Chords are built from the scale degrees 1 – 3 – 5 etc)
Music Theory Masterclass 2: Chord Progressions and Harmony (why some Chords are work and some don’t? / Sharing notes from the tonic chord?)
The CAGED System For GUITAR (my thoughts) – Rick Beato
Chords
Major = 1 – 3 – 5
Augmented = 1 – 3 – #5
Minor = 1 – b3 – 5
Diminished = 1 – b3 – b5
Sus2 = 1 – 2 – 5 (3rd suspends down – ear wants you to move up)
Sus4 = 1 – 4 – 5 (3rd suspends up – ear wants you to move down )
Lydian Triad = 1 – sus#4 – 5
Phryg. Triad = 1 b2 – 5
Sus4 b5
b2 b5
D Major Scale
Capital Roman Numerals = Major (Chord)
Lower Case Roman Numerals = minor (Chord)
M m m M M m d (M = major, m = minor, d = diminished) based on the interval formula W W H W W W H Major scale
C major 7th chord
Dominant 7 chords are very similar to major 7 chords and only differ by one note. To turn a major 7 chord into a dominant 7 chord, you just need to lower the added note by a half step. So you’ll have a root, 3rd, 5th, and a flat 7

Dominant 7 Chord (E7 A7 in C Major) – A Chord that needs to be resolved …their is tension and it requires resolution C – (E7) – A7 (resolution)
E is the 3rd or Secondary Dominant
