Scales and Their Chords

This is my suggestion to some decent chords (or typical) which work well over these scales. I encourage all of you to try your own chords, too. But make sure they keep to the rule of the note! E.g. don't play a minor chord over a major note in a key.

Take this slowly, as not all of you are ready to learn this stuff. Please don't rush ahead! As boring as some stuff may be, rushing ahead will be your downfall. Understand everything and how it works before you move on.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Unfortunately, I cannot insert the "natural" symbol. I will show you what it looks like in this picture:



Since I can't insert it in the lesson, I will put (n) instead.
