Chords have characteristics. Personalities, almost. Master composer Schubert even wrote a directory to explain this,in which he proclaimed F Major to be full of “complaisance & calm” while another classical composer, Helmholtz,described the sound of F Major as “Peace, joy, light, passing regret, religious sentiment”. These descriptions may be sever...
F Major is used in 44% of songs analyzed in HookTheory, such as Jessie J – Price Tag,Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ By The Way and Aerosmith’s classic tune Cryin’.These tracks are all eithrimpassioned and earnest or tranquil, reflective and emotive – or all these emotions at once! Let’s analyze F Major. Like all tonal chords, it’s generic form is a triad ...
Every triad starts with the root note and ends with a perfect fifth – five whole notes up from the root. The middlenote is really important as it decides whether the chord is Minor or Major. Check out this simple chart below: The chart shows us the simple difference between F Major and F Minor. It also tells us that F Major consists of threenotes: ...
Every Major chord has a relative Minor chord that complements it. If you’ve ever seen the Mixed in Key HarmonicMixing Wheel (AKAthe ‘Camelot’ Wheel)you’ll be familiar with the way chords ‘connect’ based on their position on the wheel. The outer ring has the Major chords, the inner ring has Minors. Look at the lower left side of the wheel. 7B = FMaj...
When playing F Major, you can change the way it’s played and play either of the triad notes at the bottom. Check outthe video example below, where you can see and hear the difference between the three ways of playing the same chord.The sound is almost the same and the pitch is identical. These are sometimes referred to as inversions.
Inverting chords gives musicians different ways of playing the same chord in different positions on the keyboard –minimizing the distance between chords. That’s where the term ‘Minimize the leap’ originates – something you caneasily replicate in Captain Chords.
We can make F Major more complex and interesting by adding additional notes. It’s like adding spice to your chord –so be careful not to overdo it. These additional notes come from the overall diatonic scale of the note, which takes a bit of time to learn. Each one adds its own flavor, which is why they are sometimes referred to as flavors. It’s sup...
Suspended:
There are fewer potential suspended notes, since they fit in between the root and fifth. There are two options, infact, which makes sense if you think about it: 1 is taken by the root note, F. 3 is taken by the first interval, and5 is taken by the perfect fifth. This leaves just 2 and 4 as possible destinations for our suspended notes.

F major is the home key of the English horn, the basset horn, the horn in F, the trumpet in F and the bass Wagner tuba. Thus, music in F major for these transposing instruments is written in C major. Most of these sound a perfect fifth lower than written, with the exception of the trumpet in F which sounds a fourth higher.
All major scales can be split in half, into two major tetrachords (a 4-note segment with the pattern 2-2-1, or whole-step, whole-step, half-step). It’s much easier to remember 4-note patterns than 7 or 8-note patterns, so breaking it down into two parts can be very helpful. The lower tetrachord of F major is made up of the notes F, G, A, and Bb.
It is the 6th most popular key among Major keys and the 6th most popular among all keys. Major keys, along with minor keys, are a common choice for popular songs. The three most important chords, built off the 1st, 4th and 5th scale degrees are all major chords (F Major, B♭ Major, and C Major).
