The G major chord
is comprised of two whole steps (from the note G to the note B, a major
3rd interval) and one and one-half steps (from the note B to the note D,
a minor 3rd interval). Therefore, the three notes that comprise a G major
chord are: G + B + D. This analysis holds true for all major chords.
Notice that the spelling of the G major chord form in Figure 1 is G + B
+ D + G + B + G.
Figure 2 is the voicing I prefer.
In my opinion the octave D notes strengthen the overall sound of the chord
(fifths will do that) and provide a better fit for most rock tunes. |
