Arabic or regular numbers represent the NOTES in a chord. When looking for notes in a chord, find that chord's major scale, number the notes, and take notes 1, 3, and 5. For G we get G A B C D E F# G. If we number these, then the notes in spots 1, 3 and 5 are the notes that make up the G major chord. These notes are G, B and D. If, however, we are searching for the major chords in the key of G, we still use the G major scale, and number the notes. We look at the notes in spots 1, 4 and 5. These indicate which chords are major in the key of G. Chords G, C and D are major. And we use roman numerals when referring to them as chords: I, IV and V. Incidentally, 2, 3 and 6 indicate the chords that are minor in the key. So in the key of G, they would be Am, Bm and Em, and we number them with lowercase roman numerals, ii, iii, and vi.

But, in this page, you mention 1,3,5 as a Major Chord. What are these two? pls explain. Hi,
