What is the order of chords in a major scale?

In the Key of A Major, the A chord is also an A Major (with the notes A-C♯-E, where "A" is the root, "C♯" is the 3rd, and "E" is the 5th). Seventh chords (7th), ninth chords (9th), eleventh chords (11th), and thirteenth chords (13th) are counted by repeating the notes in the next octave.

Notice there is only one 13th chord in a key, with seven different names depending on the root of the chord when played. Also notice that when you add a 6th note to a triad, the new chord has the same notes as another triad with an added 7th, Aadd6 has the same notes as F♯m7. Don't fear the names of the chords, but look at the intervals in blue, see the patterns to names, like a Major 7th chord, as in a AM7 (1-3-5-7), or a 7th chord (or dominant 7th chord), as in a E7 (1-3-5-♭7), or a minor 7th chord, as in a Bm7 (1-♭3-5-♭7), or a half-diminished 7th chord, as in a G♯∅7 (1-♭3-♭5-♭7). When playing in a Major Key, notes outside of the key may be added, creating chords not shown above. When a note outside of the Key is added to a chord, the note is considered an accidental note and would need to be marked in the name of the chord. There is usually more than one place on a guitar where a chord can be played. To figure out places to play a chord, write the notes of the chord down in a text file (or on a sheet of paper) and then visit the Major Key position charts on guitar. Find the notes on the chart and think of how to play all three notes. You do not have to play all six strings to play a chord. The positions are shown in the key of C Major. Just remember that a sharp (♯) is one fret up from a note, a flat (♭) is one fret down. On the sixth string of a guitar, the F is on the first fret. F♯ is on the second fret. G is on the third fret. G♭ is on the second fret. F♯ and G♭ are the same note on a guitar. about Major Keys There are fifteen Major Keys in Western music. The Key of C Major, which has no sharps or flats. The Key of G Major, which has one sharp, F♯. The Key of D Major, which has two sharps, F♯, and C♯. The Key of A Major, which has three sharps, F♯, C♯, and G♯. The Key of E Major, which has four sharps, F♯, C♯, G♯, and D♯. The Key of B Major, which has five sharps, F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, and A♯. The Key of F♯ Major, which has six sharps, F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, and E♯. The Key of C♯ Major, which has seven sharps, F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯, and B♯. The Key of F Major, which has one flat, B♭. The Key of B♭ Major, which has two flats, B♭, and E♭. The Key of E♭ Major, which has three flats, B♭, E♭, and A♭. The Key of A♭ Major, which has four flats, B♭, E♭, A♭, and D♭. The Key of D♭ Major, which has five flats, B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, and G♭. The Key of G♭ Major, which has six flats, B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, and C♭. The Key of C♭ Major, which has seven flats, B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, and F♭. Three of the keys share notes with three other keys, they are called enharmonic. They may look the same on a guitar or piano, but look very different in sheet music. C♭ Major and B Major are enharmonic, C♯ Major and D♭ Major are enharmonic, and F♯ Major and G♭ Major are enharmonic, sharing notes on a guitar. C Major is the best key to study the patterns of chords, as there are no extra sharps and flats to contend with, counting out notes in the scale is easier. It is nice to have all fifteen keys for reference, but in practical use a guitarist may only play a few of these keys. Guitar is easier to play when at least some of the open strings are in the key.
