It explains that the only difference between a major and minor chord is the third note. It also defines diatonic harmony as chords that only contain notes within a given key and lists the seven diatonic chords in the key of C major. Finally, it provides an example of a four chord progression using diatonic chords from the C major scale.
Music theory
This document provides a high-level overview of basic music theory concepts in under 10 minutes. It introduces notes and octaves, then covers scales like the major scale and minor scale. It discusses chords including major, minor, and seventh chords. Common chord progressions are presented. It also briefly touches on more advanced concepts like blue notes, pentatonic scales, and substitute chords before concluding with takeaways and inviting questions.
