   Hi Justin

   The chords of C Major are: C | Dm | Em | F | G | Am | Bdim

   Chords of a major scale are formed using the following formula:

   Major | Minor | Minor | Major | Major | Minor | Diminished

   Using the C scale as an example the chords derived using the formula will be

   C Major D Minor E Minor F Major G Major A Minor B Diminished

   Using the G scale as an example and the same formula chords derived are:

   G Major A Minor B Minor C Major D Major E Minor F Diminished

   This formula also applies when adding 7ths, 9ths etc and is only valid for major scales. Will explain further in class

   Hope this helps
