A major chord refers to a scale where the tonic is 1, with the sequence starting from 1 and ending at the higher octave i. Below is the sequence of a major scale:
Singing name: 1234567 (1=C)
Note name: CDEFGABC
Scale degree: IⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅧ
Alternative names: Tonic Supertonic Mediant Subdominant Dominant Submediant Leading tone Tonic
In a major key, the I chord (tonic), IV chord (subdominant), V chord (dominant), and V7 chord (dominant seventh) formed on the I (tonic), IV (subdominant), and V (dominant) degrees are functionally stronger and more versatile, serving as the backbone of major chord progressions. These four types of chords evolve into numerous forms across the twelve modes, and we should strive to be familiar and proficient with them.
