F Chord Progressions: Basic Triads

If you remember from previous entries, the Bb major scale consists of the F, G, A, Bb, C, D, and E notes. This scale will relate directly to the simple triads (that is, three-note chords made of the root, major/minor third, and diminished/perfect fifth notes) in the key of F major (please refer to this website or elsewhere for more information):

I. F major (made of the F, A, and C notes);
ii. G minor (G, Bb, and D notes);
iii. A minor (A, C, and E notes);
IV. Bb major (Bb, D, and F notes);
V. C major (C, E, and G notes);
vi. D minor (D, F, and A notes); and
vii(b5). E diminished (E, G, and Bb notes).
