Basic Music Theory

It's good to learn the basics of how music works. I hope this information is clear and easy to understand, let me know if you got any questions.

Major Scales -Learn about whole steps and half steps so that you can play a major scale.

Music Intervals -These are the names of the possible distances between 2 notes. Definitely a good thing to know.

Triads -These are just basic chords. Learn these so that you can play songs with chords.

Seventh Chords -Moving up to 4 note chords.

Suspended Chords -This aren't as important as that basic triads, but still good to know about and play.

Chord Inversions and Voice Leading -Now we're talking music, invert and voice lead the chords you play to sound better.

Minor Scales -Kind of like major scales but sadder sounding.

Circle of Fifths -This is real useful to know and understand.
