The B major chord
is comprised of two whole steps (from the note B to the note D#, a major
3rd interval) and one and one-half steps (from the note D# to the note
F#, a minor 3rd interval). Therefore, the three notes that comprise an
B major chord are: B + D# + G#. This analysis holds true for all
major chords. Notice that the spelling of the B major chord form in Figure
1 is B + G# + B + D# + G#.
Figure 2 illustrates a simpler
fingering of the B major chord. Notice that the root note, or low B, has
been omitted. |
