Hi everyone,
When building a major chord, what does the formula whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole,half mean? I know it has something to do with flats and sharps and B/C and E/F, but just don't understand the entire idea!

Topic: playing in different keys (2 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi all, as a novice, I have a novice question. What does the term "key" mean? I understand that the key of G contains the G,C and D chords and the key of D contains the D,G and A chord, but how does it apply? Does it mean that when songs are in the key of G, they should only contain G,C and D chords? Not sure how to apply this to music.

Topic: strumming patterns (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I am a beginner and I know several chords. I am now trying to apply these chords to songs heard on the radio. My problem is that I haven't developed an ear yet to be able to strum these chords to make it sound halfway decent. Are there any particular strumming patterns or does it depend on each individual song? Please, any suggestions will help!

I'm a beginner too and I've been practicing Melissa Etheridge's "Come to my Window". Most of the song is G,C, and D chords.
