"We're kind of concluding our ideas about chords and shapes and being able to identify them. The very first thing I did, or one of the first few things I did, was I harmonized the major scale. There are three triads in a major scale, there are major triads, there are minor triads, and there's a diminished triad. Each note of the scale is going to be a different type of chord. Our one chord's major, am I'm building all these in one position. I'm going up a whole step and I'm going to build a minor chord now. We know how to do this. I'm going to go up a whole step I'm going to build a minor chord now. I'm going to go up a half step and I'm going to build a major chord. I'm going to go up a whole step and I'm going to build a major chord. I'm going to go up a whole step and I'm going to build a minor chord. Then I'm going to go up a whole step and I'm going to build a diminished chord. Then we'll come back around to the 1 with a half step. Our major, the order of chords in a key goes major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished. And, how I found each of those is I used the low G string as our scale position. So, I played a scale on each of the notes of the low G string and I played the right chord with it."
