Go ahead and find out the chords for other scales!
Please do not try to find out ready-made chord progressions from the www.
This is not going to help you in learning fast!
A fast way of learning is the other way round - the hard way!!!
Once you formulate your own chords, then you don’t need to 'mug it up'.
They will then be stored in your subconscious-mind, and will therefore come out naturally, as you start playing.
Believe me - try this for one scale, and hopefully it will become apparent and hence you will understand.
Now that we know which chords to play for a particular note - but, is it necessary to always play the given chord for a particular note?
...No!
It may not be possible or required to play the original chord corresponding to a particular note - as playing too many chords, (at least in the beginning), for a particular tempo (speed) and tune may be difficult or may create breaks in continuity.
So, try some short cuts, as follows:-
1) In the case of note A - the chord is A minor in the ‘C’ scale.
A minor = A, C, E
F Major = F, A, C
(two notes A and C are common).
So, for A note, F Major chord also sounds ok and even sometimes good depending on the tune.
2) In the case of note B - the chord is B diminished in the 'C' scale.
B dim = B, D, F
G Major = G, B, D
(two notes B and D are common).
So, for B note, we can also use G Major chord as well - which sounds good!
My friends...God's given you the skills and love for music, and He will be soooooooooooooo-happy to see you playing sooooooooooooo-nicely!!!
...Because, that’s what God wants YOU to do with the beautiful skills that you've acquired!!!
So, be happy and make others happy my friends and fellow lovers of music!!!!!!
