C MAJOR
C major is an important key since it is the starting point from which all other keys are derived. On the keyboard a C major scale is the easiest scale to play since it comprises only white keys or “natural” notes. 1 A favorite chord for beginners and a full sounding resonant voicing that features in many famous songs and riffs. 3 A first inversion of C with its third (E) as the lowest note.
C MAJOR
A classic “ending” chord that’s been used by everyone from Louis Armstrong to The Beatles, the sixth can also be used as a substitute for a basic major chord. 2 A resonant five-string chord with a doubled root (C) that’s perfect for endings. 5 High register, four-string voicing great for creating choppy, syncopated rhythm parts.
C MAJOR
The jazziest and coolest of all major chords, the major seventh chord isn’t just for jazz—it features in plenty of rock songs too. 1 This wonderfully jangly, open major seventh voicing is great for strummed acoustic guitar work. 4 A popular jazz voicing that also works well when used in strummed rhythm parts.
