Title: Chord Names Help?
Post by: TheGiftedOne on December 20, 2006, 09:25:08 PM

Can someone give me a list of Chord names in Eb?

For example: Like Major Chord: Eb/Bb-Eb-G


Trying to learn more music theory

You first need to start learning the formulas for creating the different kinds of chord before you apply it to a particular key:

major:  1   3   5

minor:  1   b3   5

diminshed:  1   b3   b5

*fully diminshed:  1   b3   b5   bb7  *just an extension of the regular diminished chord

augmented:  1   3   #5

major 7th:  1   3   5   7

dominant 7th (V7):  1   3   5   b7

minor 7th:  1   b3   5   b7

6th:  1   3   5   6

add9th:  1   2   3   5

9th:  1   3   5   b7   9

11th: 1   3   5   b7   9   11

13th: 1   3   5   b7   9   11   13
*Each of these chords can also be altered by sharping (#) or flatting (b) a note(s) to form even more chords


I think your question has to do more with finding different voicings rather than chord name helps.  Am I correct?
