Really Basic Harmony, Part 3

by Bill on January 11, 2010

The third post in my three-part series on really basic harmony. If you’ve missed the first couple of screencasts, you can find them here and here. As you may know, the whole series is designed to tie-in with my book, How To Really Play The Piano.

In the series so far we’ve covered the most basic bits of harmony you need to know, including how chords are made up and how they work with a melody to form a song. We’ve dealt with issues of key changes and the way chords can be voiced in different ways.

In this final screencast we’re going to look triads, their inversions and how they can be used to work out the fundamental chords of any key.

Quick note: to keep things simple, I haven’t included material here on building chords based on minor scales.
