See Mentorship PlansThe E major scale is E F♯ G♯ A B C♯ D♯, with 4 sharps (F♯, G♯, C♯, D♯). Build a chord on each note of the scale using only notes from the key and you get these seven chords:
| Number | Chord | |
|---|---|---|
| I | E | Home |
| ii | F♯m | |
| iii | G♯m | |
| IV | A | |
| V | B | Strong pull back home |
| vi | C♯m | |
| vii° | D♯dim |
Upper case numbers are major chords, lower case are minor, and ° is diminished. Numbering chords like this means a progression works in any key.
Use the E major scale or the E major pentatonic. Aim for the notes of each chord as it comes round: see the scale on the fretboard, or make a backing track in E major to practise over.
E major shares its notes and chords with C♯ minor. If a song uses these chords, the chord that feels like home tells you which of the two it's in.
