Default Here's an excerpt of the article...

I see what you guys are saying. I don't think I explained it well though. Here's the excerpt from the article. Let me know if it makes sense to you, and thanks for the help.

Now there are 12 major scales and each has 7 chords. 7 x 12 = 84 chords.

There are also 12 minor scales each with 7 chords. 7 x 12 = 84 chords.

That's a total of 168 chords, right?

Wrong.

All those scales still have just the 3 basic chord types... major, minor and dominant. You only need to learn 3 chords.

It's "where" you play those chords on the fingerboard that changes their name. C major you play in one place, and if you play the same chord in another place on the neck, it becomes a G major or a D major, or whatever.
