Major Chords on the Keyboard
Trying to learn all the major chords on the keyboard doesn't need to be as hard as it seems. There's only 12 of them total and they have more in common that you might think. When you learn the chords in groups it can make it a lot easier and who doesn't like easy?
Check out the blog about learning the Major Chords that I posted on the Musician's Toolshed. The article focuses on learning the chords using color groupings and includes additional resources, PDF handout, and online flash cards to quiz yourself.
Guaranteed you'll have your chords down in no time flat!
