My First, But Not Last

[Dave-M]

Hi Paul ... here is something I wrote up for a friend, regarding numerics.

Code: Select all

=======================================
Treble Clef Written Music Note Locator:
=======================================
Sharps or flats on a line or space indicate 
the key signature. See chart following this one.
Sometimes additional lines are added to expand 
the treble clef chart.

For bass clef chart (not shown), 
bottom line note is G instead of E.

|-----------------F----
|               E
|-------------D--------
|           C
|---------B------------
|       A 
|-----G----------------
|   F
|-E--------------------

========================================================================
Note 1 is the root, key or tonic.
The chart is based on the major scale: 
-----------------------------------------------------------
Note     1  .  2  .  3  4  .  5  .  6  .  7  1    SIGNATURE
-----------------------------------------------------------

         Ab .  Bb .  C  Db .  Eb .  F  .  G  Ab      4b
 
========================================================================
Use the following chart with the preceding chart
and the fretboard layout to find CHORDS.
These are the most used chords. There are others
such as 7sus4=(1,4,5,6#) not included.

Note     1  .  2  .  3  4  .  5  .  6  .  7 
-------------------------------------------  
MAJOR    X  .  .  .  X  .  .  X  .  .  .  .
6TH      X  .  .  .  X  .  .  X  .  X  .  .

where min is minor, maj is major, dom is dominant, 
aug is augmented, dim is diminished, and sus is suspended.

I relate everything to the C-scale. For instance C chord is 153, F is 164, Am is 163, G7 is 2574, etcetera. As long as all the numbers are included, it doesn't matter what order I quoted! You may only be able to get parts of some chords such as sevenths and ninths, so include the parts which are distinctive, such as 7b and 2.

Thanks Dave this is much appreciated. I thank you for the time and effort you have put into this. As I have said before this is a great site, everyone is so helpful.
