This has helped a lot of my students to take the mystery out of applied music theory. It is of course relevant to all musical instruments. You do not need a 'chord dictionary' learn the basics and you can create them all.
This document provides a summary of key musical concepts related to pitch, including:
1) Pitch refers to how high or low a musical note is. It is measured by its frequency in units called Hertz.
2) The standard tuning note is A above middle C, which vibrates at 440 Hz.
3) There are 7 letters (A-G) used to name notes in the Western musical alphabet, which repeats in octaves up and down the range of instruments.
4) Clefs like treble and bass clef assign letter names to lines and spaces on the musical staff and allow notes to be visually represented.
Double stops and drones add fullness and complexity to fiddle playing. Double stops involve playing two notes simultaneously, either with the same or different fingers. Drones involve playing an open string along with the melody note. Practicing double stops starts by picking a key and adding nearby notes from the chord. Practicing drones uses favorite tunes played with the corresponding open string. Both techniques make fiddling sound more mature and professional.
This document provides an introduction to guitar chords for beginners. It explains the 6 most common chords (C, D, G, Em, A, Am) and includes diagrams showing how to finger each chord. It also discusses strumming patterns and provides examples of songs that can be played using these basic chords, including Pumped Up Kicks and Rip Tide. Additional topics covered include the use of a capo to access new chords and some history on the development of electric guitars.
This article discusses using diminished seventh chords and their related chords to improvise creatively. It introduces a framework where improvisers can borrow notes from the diminished seventh chord one half-step above or below to alter the sound. This allows mixing and matching from related families of chords. Several examples are provided where a D diminished seventh chord is used, borrowing notes to create lines that move between dominant seventh and minor seventh flat five chords, all while retaining harmonic connection. The examples illustrate how improvisers can practice freedom within this framework to get interesting sonic results.
Basic music theory lesson. Where the notes are on the piano and on the treble clef staff. The first things you need to know about the piano and reading music.
This document provides instructions and charts for playing major and minor scales on the guitar across all 12 keys. It begins by explaining the importance of learning scales and how the guitar fretboard is structured in a way that lends itself to learning scales. It then provides scale charts for each key, beginning with C major and moving through the circle of fifths. It also includes charts for the pentatonic and chromatic scales. The document concludes with exercises for practicing the scales in a musical way rather than just playing the notes in order.
The document discusses techniques for providing harmonic interest in static sections of gospel music where the harmonic rhythm is slow. It introduces the concept of "backtracking" or moving between the I and IV chords briefly before returning to I. Examples are provided in the key of F. It also discusses using triadic voicings that outline three-part harmony, as gospel harmony is based on vocal harmonization. Later chapters will build on these techniques and apply them to full chord progressions and songs.
Key signature, in musical notation, the arrangement of sharp or flat signs on particular lines and spaces of a musical staff to indicate that the corresponding notes, in every octave, are to be consistently raised (by sharps) or lowered (by flats) from their natural pitches.
The document discusses musical notation including clefs, pitches, octave registers, key signatures, scales, and intervals. It provides examples of major and minor scales using different clefs and explains how to construct minor scales using various methods such as relative major scales. Key signatures for all major and minor keys are displayed along with the circle of fifths.

The Origins of the Dwayne Johnson Kidnapping Saga
Dwayne Johnson: A Brief Background
Before discussing the specifics of the kidnapping. it is crucial to understand who Dwayne Johnson is and why his kidnapping would be so significant. Born May 2, 1972, Dwayne Douglas Johnson is an American actor, producer, businessman. and former professional wrestler. Known by his ring name, "The Rock," he gained fame in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) before transitioning to a successful career in Hollywood.

His charismatic personality, impressive physique. and action-star status have made him a beloved figure worldwide. Thus, the news of his kidnapping would send shockwaves across the globe.
Setting the Scene: The Day of the Kidnapping
The incident of Dwayne Johnson's kidnapping began on an ordinary day. Johnson was filming his latest high-octane action film set to break box office records. The location was a remote yet scenic area. chosen for its rugged terrain and breathtaking vistas. perfect for the film's climactic scenes.
But, beneath the veneer of normalcy, a sinister plot was unfolding. Unbeknownst to Johnson and his team, a group of criminals had planned his abduction. hoping to leverage his celebrity status for a hefty ransom. The stage was set for an event that would soon dominate worldwide headlines and social media feeds.
The Abduction: Unfolding the Dwayne Johnson Kidnapping
The Moment of Capture
On the day of the kidnapping, everything seemed to be proceeding as usual on set. Johnson and his co-stars and crew were engrossed in shooting a particularly demanding scene. As the day wore on, the production team took a short break. providing the kidnappers with the perfect opportunity to strike.
The abduction was executed with military precision. A group of masked men, armed and organized, infiltrated the set. They created chaos, taking advantage of the confusion to isolate Johnson. Johnson was outnumbered and caught off guard despite his formidable strength and fighting skills. The kidnappers overpowered him, bundled him into a waiting vehicle. and sped away, leaving everyone on set in a state of shock and disbelief.

The Essentials of Piano
Chords
All about Chords and Intervals
efore we get into the system, you’ll need to know some basics of music theory.
If you’ve already studied music, you can glance over this chapter and then
move right on to chapter 2. If you’ve never studied music before, you might
need to spend a little more time on this chapter.

Chords
A chord is a group of notes played at the same time that sound good together. For
example, go to your piano and play the note C in your left hand. (It’s the note that’s
just to the left of the two black keys.)
C E
Now in your right hand, play the note E. (It’s the note just to the right of the two
black keys).
These two notes played together make a chord! Chords can have lots of notes or just
two notes.

For example, we could add another C to the chord, just below the E, and the chord
would still sound about the same.
C EC
Play the top two
notes in the right
hand for now.
Fingering doesn’t
matter just yet.
Certain notes tend to change the flavor of a chord. For example, if we add the note B
Flat to the notes C and E, we’ll get a very different sort of sound.
B Flat is the right-most of the three black keys. It is written with the flat symbol, which
looks like a cursive letter b.
B
b
C E
So when you add the note B Flat to the notes C and E, you get what’s called a C7
chord.
In sheet music, you might see it like this:
23 of 142
3. B A C K G R O U N D I N F O Y O U ’ L L N E E D T O K N O W
What you see here are two chord symbols, the symbol for the chord C7 (“pronounced
C Seven”) and the symbol for the chord F. Underneath you see five notes. This is the
melody.
So what we’ll want to do is play the chord along with the melody note written below it.
Often, the melody note will be part of the chord – as we see here. The note E, which
is the first note of the melody, is also the top note of the C7 chord you’ve learned.
So you would play those three notes, the C in the left hand, the Bb and E in the right.
Then you would play the three melody notes that follow, the D, C and E. You can
either hold down the chord while you play those other notes, or let go of it, depending
on the style and your skill at the keyboard.
You would then play the next chord along with its melody note. (We’ll learn the F
chord in a minute.)
That’s the essence of how to use chords. Now let’s learn how Chord Symbols
constructed.

Quality
The next part any chord symbol is the Quality of the chord. This changes depending
on the related notes. For example a C chord has the note E in it, while a Cm chord
(pronounced “C minor”) has the note Eb in it.

The quality usually depends on two related notes: the third and the seventh.
For example the note E is the third of the note C. The note Eb is the minor third of
the note C.
Minor 3rdMajor 3rd
When you play the Root and the third together, you get a chord. If you play C and E
together you get a C Major chord (Often just called a C chord – the Major quality is
assumed). If you play C and Eb together you get a C Minor chord.
The other most important note for determining the quality of a chord is the seventh.
The seventh of the note C is the note B. The minor seventh of the note C is the note
Bb.
(The note B is just to the right of the three black keys.)
C B

6. B A C K G R O U N D I N F O Y O U ’ L L N E E D T O K N O W
When you play the Root, the 3rd
and the 7th
, you get what’s called a seventh chord.
C EB
This is a blanket term for all the different types of seventh chords.
There are four qualities of seventh chords you will see:
the Major 7th
chord
the Minor 7th
chord
the Dominant 7th
chord
The Diminished 7th
chord
Confusingly the Dominant 7th
chord is often the “default” seventh chord, so if
someone said to you, “play a C Seven chord,” they would actually mean a dominant
chord. Most people don’t use the proper term, dominant, because it’s a long word.
To distinguish the dominant from the other chords, these improper folks will
describe the other seventh chords by their whole name. “Play C seven, and then
play C minor seven”. You would understand this to mean “Play C dominant, and
then play C minor seventh”.
To save yourself from confusion, remember that All “seven” chords are “seventh”
chords, but not all “seventh” chords are seven chords.
In other words, the dominant chord (which is often called “seven”) is a type of
seventh chord, but not all seventh chords are dominant.
The chord above using C, B and E, is a Major 7th
Chord. The chord on page two
using C, Bb and E is a Dominant 7th
Chord.

uses the
notes A and Eb in the right hand.
(The note A is the right-most of the two white keys between the three black keys.)

Extra Stuff
The “extra stuff” is the third thing you’ll see tacked on after the quality. This is for
alterations to the chord or for added-on notes. For example, the symbol C7b5
(pronounced “C Seven, flat five”) is just a C Dominant chord with the flat fifth added
on.
28 of 142
8. B A C K G R O U N D I N F O Y O U ’ L L N E E D T O K N O W
The flat fifth of any C chord is the note G Flat. It’s the left most of the three black
keys.
b
G
Here’s a C7b5 chord. Compare it to the C7 chord we talked about earlier. Do you see
how it’s the same chord, just with one added note? That’s the essence of the “extra-
stuff” part of chord symbols.
B
b b
G
C E
Try playing these
two notes in the
right hand, while
the C and Bb are
played in the left
Now the extra stuff adds some complexity to what we’re doing, so we’ll leave off the
extra stuff for now. If you see C7b5, just play C7. OK? This will make things easier at
first, and then, whenever you’re ready, you can it back in.

Learning the Sharp and Flat Note Names
The black keys on the keyboard don’t have their own names. They borrow their
names from the keys to the left and right.
For example, look below at the notes A and B. B is the note just to the right of the
three black keys. A is the right-most of the two white keys between the three black keys.
They have one note in between them, which can be named either B flat or A sharp.
In this first diagram you see the sharp names for the black keys. These names come
from the note just to the left. So C sharp is one key “higher” than C. “Higher” on the
key board means to the right on the keyboard.
D# F#
BA
A#G#C#
F GC D E
In this second diagram you see the flat names for the black keys. These names come
from the note just to the right. So D Flat is one key “lower’ than the note D. “Lower”
on the keyboard means to the left.
Eb Gb AbDb Bb

“Lower pitches” “Higher pitches”

10. B A C K G R O U N D I N F O Y O U ’ L L N E E D T O K N O W
Often, you’ll see sharps as the music goes up in pitch (as you move from left to right
on the keyboard).
Often, you’ll see flats as the music goes down in pitch (as you move from right to left
on the keyboard).
Usually a chord is spelled with either all sharps or all flats, not both. So an Eb minor
chord would only use flats. You would spell it Eb and Gb, not Eb and F#. Even if F#
is much more common way to spell that piano key.
An E flat minor chord is spelled with all flats.

The Intervals You’ll Need to Know
The method this book will teach you requires you to know a few intervals. Intervals
are the distances between notes.
First of all, you’ll need to know half-steps. Half-steps are the smallest interval.
Basically from any one key to the next key is a half-step – regardless or whether that
key is a white or black key.
Here are some examples of half-steps.
C to C# is half-step.
D to D# is a half-step.
E to F is a half-step.
D# to E is a half-step.
D# F#
BA
A#G#C#
F GC D E
This is what half-steps look like.
So it doesn’t matter whether the key is white or black, as long as it’s adjacent, the
distance is a half-step.

KEYWORDS FOR BIGGINER
12. B A C K G R O U N D I N F O Y O U ’ L L N E E D T O K N O W
The next interval you’ll need to know is a whole-step. A whole-step is basically two
half-steps. Whole-steps have one key in between them.
For example
C to D is a whole-step (C# is in between)
D to E is a whole-step (D# is in between)
E to F# is a whole-step (F is in between)
F# to G# is a whole-step (G is in between)
D# F#
BA
A#G#C#
F GC D E
Examples of whole-steps. Notice most whole steps either go from a white key to a
white key, or a black key to a black key. They’re a little tricky around the notes E and F
because there is no black key in between. So, these ones use both white and black
keys. The same is true between B and C, although you can’t see it on this diagram.
Here are some of the trickier whole-steps that use both white and black keys.
Eb to F
E to F#
Bb to C
B to C#

13. B A C K G R O U N D I N F O Y O U ’ L L N E E D T O K N O W
The last interval you’ll need to know for the system, and the most important one, is the
fourth.
Fourths have four keys in between.
Eb Gb AbDb Bb
AF GC BD E
So for example,
C to F is a fourth (Db, D, Eb and E are in between)
D to G is a fourth (Eb, E, F and Gb are in between)
F to Bb is a fourth (Gb, G, Ab, and A are in between)
Two Easy Tricks for Finding Fourths
Between White Keys
To find a fourth between white keys, just skip two white keys. So for example:
To find a fourth above C, skip two white keys (D and E) and you’ll find the
fourth, F.
To find a fourth above D, skip two white keys (E and F) and you’ll find the
fourth, G.
Just watch out for the one exception! F to B is not a fourth. See below under
Exceptions.

Between Black Keys
To find a fourth between black keys, just skip one black key. So for example:
To find a fourth above Db, skip one black key (Eb) and you’ll find the fourth,
Gb.
To find a fourth above Eb, skip one black key (Gb) and you’ll find the fourth,
Ab
Just watch out for the one exception! Gb to Bb is not a fourth. See below under
Exceptions.
Exceptions
There are two exceptions to our trick for finding fourths. Here they are.
Exception 1
If you use the trick for white keys starting on F, it doesn’t work. This is the one
exception to the white key rule.
F to B is not a fourth! The “skip two white keys” rule will mislead you here. You just
have to memorize this exception.

The Essential Elements of a Chord
So far we’ve talked about the Root, the 3rd
and the 7th
. The Root is the foundation of
the chord around which the other notes relate. The 3rd
and 7th
are the notes that
determine the quality of the chord.
There is one more element of the chord that you will see much more in other chord
books, but I try to minimize, and that’s the fifth. The fifth is not an essential element
of the chord. You will often see it in other chord books because they teach you the
chords in terms of triads. Triads are chords that use the Root, 3rd
and 5th
(all three
notes are third away from one another, hence the name triad).
The fifth helps strengthen a chord and make it more powerful, but it can also cause
problems as far as voice leading, and until you are more advanced, I would
recommend leaving it out. Eventually, when your ear is stronger, you’ll sense when
you should add a little fifth, or when you should leave it out.
On the following pages, we’ll review the essential elements of a chord and how to find
them.

Now find the note up a fourth from the higher C. Remember the rule for white notes?
Just skip two white notes to find it. (So skip D and E, and you’ll land on F). To test to
make sure it’s a fourth, you can count the number of keys in between, and it should be
four. (So, Db, D, Eb and E – that’s four!)

Finding the 7th

when finding them. This will eliminate many steps and allow you to visualize them
more easily on the keyboard.

“starting position”
The Starting Position
The starting position is a visual guide to help you find any chord; it is a valuable
learning tool while learning to read chords. A fancy way to describe would be that it’s
a metachord – a reference point to the other chords you’ll learn.
Since the 3rd
is found from the fourth, and the 5th
and seventh are found from the
Root, you will want to start with The Root and the 4th
.

octaves) and then the note a fourth above the higher root.
The Starting Position

How we’ll use the Starting Position.
Once you have found the starting position for a chord, you’ll move down to find the
major or minor 7ths depending on the quality of the chord. This will be discussed in
great length in later chapters.
But let’s look at an example quickly.
If you take the top two notes down a half-step each you’ll get a Major 7th
chord. For C
Major 7th
, the top two notes would be B and E.

matter of knowing the right moves to find the quality of chord you want.
If you are looking for an F minor 7th chord, you would first, find the starting position
for F:

RR
You would then take the top two notes down a whole-step each. (Remember,
down means to the left on the keyboard). This would give you an F minor 7th
chord.
F Minor 7th
7 3
R
So you can see the system breaks down into two major parts:
First, learning to find the starting position for the all 12 keys.
Then, learning the moves from the starting position (in terms of half-steps and
whole-steps) to finding the final chord
While learning the system takes some thought, it will save you from having to think in
the long run, because you’ll know the theory in a visual way, rather than having
memorized the chords by rote, therefore you’ll be much more flexible to improvise
around a melody with accompaniment you come up with.

Steps1-2:FindingtheStartingPosition
At first, you will want to find the Root of the chord in octaves, then the fourth above
the higher root. This will be the starting position.
For example, for all C chords, you will find C, C and F. Then depending on whether
it’s Major 7th
, Minor 7th
or many other qualities of chords, we’ll move the top two notes
to find the chord.

Step3:FindingtheQualityfromtheStartingPosition
Depending on the quality of the chord (M, m, 7, M7, m7, dim7), you will move the top
two notes to the left in certain patterns.
