Piano Major Chords 



The picture above shows you the piano major chord scales each major chord has a root note,

a note a Major third (M3) or minor third (m3) above the Root and a note a Perfect fifth (P5), Augmented fifth (A5), or diminished fifth above the Root.

Example:

If we choose a Major chord for example we begin by picking a Root note. We could pick any of the 12 notes but in this case we will choose G. The next note we need is a Major third (M3) above the Root, which in this case would be the note B. The final note we need is a Perfect fifth above the root, which in this case would be the note D. Now we have all three notes of our Major chord: G, B, and D.

Or another way of finding the major chords is putting your finger on a note then counting to 4 and putting your second finger on the next note and then 7 and your third finger on the last note, when counting include the semi-tone.
