Building To Scale

The notes of a chord can also be determined by assigning a numeric formula, indicating the tones used from the major scale. For example, based on the C major scale, 1-b3-5 would mean play the root (C), a flatted (E b), and the fifth (G) – a C minor chord!
The chart below is a construction summary of the chord types in this book (based on the key of C only):

C MAJOR SCALE = C-D- E-F-G-A-B-C
