MAJOR

A Major chord is a group of harmonic notes - that some of us feel simply has a "correct sound".  To determine which notes are to be used for this chord, let us look at a scale.  We will use a scale in the key of C to show how this chord is put together:

Scale in Key of C

A scale in the key of C shown above are the normal notes that one might expect in a song.  Instead of calling the notes C, D, E, etc.  or 1, 2, 3 , we also could think of the sequence as the singing notes: do, re, me fa, so, la ti do.

In this case, a Major chord is made up of the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of the scale.  For a C Major chord then (key of C), the notes of this chord would be:  C, E and G.  This chord would be abbreviated CM or simply C.
