So.. Im trying to get to know some music theory, and been reading alot the last couple of days, but i have a question that i hoped some of you experienced producers could help me with.
Im confused regarding how i find the different chords for major scales. First i read that you should find the root key, count up 4 half steps, then 3 half steps, but now when i read this (Songwriting Basics, Keys, I, IV, V Chords) and look at the illustrations, it suddenly makes no sense to me. How is C#+E+A = A chord ? how did he get there ? is because it's not a standard inversion or how should i understand this ?
Someone please point me in the right direction, thanks !
