Talk:Music Theory/Complete List of Chord Patterns

I've recently been watching Norman Wildberger on youtube and he has a convenient way of describing chords and scales as an interval sequence with each semitone being one step. could we add the interval sequence to these tables of chords? It's most edifying.

To whom it may concern: As a uke beginner, I'm very interested in strumming the chords as the accompaniment for a song. However, I have no idea which chord should be properly used when the melody of the song is going on. Referring to some chords used by the musicians in some songs, I can't figure out why. In order to get harmonical result, one of my friends told me just use I, IV and V7 chords for everything. I doubt it is a good way to strum my ukulele. When I use C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am & Bdim for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 respectively in a key=C song, I can't distinguish whether they are fit or not. Is it possible for you to tell me some fundamental theories on accompaniment which can be commonly used or acceptable to the songs when one is facing? Otherwise, what I have to do is only following the chords above the musical staff made by the authors or musicians, but no way to create something one likes. Thank you a lot in advance for your kind help. Yours sincerely, Theo Huang

I've read the music theory book in order and when I got to this part I was confused. Maybe it's because it has a bad introduction or because there isn't something between here and the other parts of the book that needs to be there. 24.110.21.111 18:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

This page needs a new introduction.
I do have some experience with music, and the chord chart rules at the beginning are in very limited in use at best, and plain incorrect at worst. There are many, many instances in which these rules are just ignored. I suggest being more clear about where exactly these rules came from, and where they are being used. The intro doesn't even address minor keys...

Second, the idea that you can make a complete guide to every chord formation is a bit misguided. You can address most of the major chords and systems of forming chords, but that kind of completeness is really not realistic, given the wide variety of chords/systems that exist.

Here is a complete reference of chords that fit any key in the major scale. (Diminished7 bb7 do not fit the major scale)

Common Reference Major Scale
This is the common reference of chords that fit the major scale in any of the keys. The best-fit chord for each possible invertion of enharmonic chords is taken. (sus2 and sus4 are invertions; most choose sus4 as the common form, however in set theory sus2 is prime)

The best fit chord is determined by a combination of set theory and music theory. Chords that match the root key get priority over enharmonic chords that fit another key. 1-3-6 fits the root, so its invertion 1-b3-5 is omitted from the list.
