Overview of a major chord
- Thread starter mravenged

When PG is referring to 1 3 5, he is referring to the 1st 3rd and 5th notes of the Major Scale.
Think of the Major Scale as the DNA that builds the Major Chord
If you have the C Major Scale:
CDEFGABC
Then a C Major Chord would be:
CEG (135) of the Scale.
Notice how the Chord is built: pick a note, miss a note etc (pick C, miss D, pick E) if you do this from every note in the Scale, you get all the Chords in the C Major 'Key' or 'Chord Family' - made up of the DNA which is the Major Scale
This is how you find chords that work together for songs too!
Hope this helps!

Is the CEG all on separate strings?When PG is referring to 1 3 5, he is referring to the 1st 3rd and 5th notes of the Major Scale.

If you concider a note as 1 the note on the string above is the 5th and the 1 fret before on the string below is 3rd in simple words and if you want to play the chord take 2 frets towerds the head and 2 strings above the 1 chord
