    I’ve put up a video about chord construction. It shows how chords are made from the notes in the major scale.

    There are 7 notes in a scale and a chord is built from each of those notes. So there are 7 chords in a major scale. You can call this a chord ‘family’. Understanding chord families is very helpful.
