Well, I don’t recall seeing an E1 anywhere, but an E2 is a shortened form of Esus2, which if you look at the E major scale ( E F# G# A B C# D# E), and number these notes 1-8, and then take notes 1,2 and 5 which are E, F#, and B. The way you would play this particular chord is 022200.

Where you might see an E1 is on a set of guitar strings where they are labeled by their string name and number: E1 B2 G3 D4 A5 E6.

These progressions listed so far often start on a major chord. The bass line progressions in the other section can be started anywhere, consequently on a minor chord and proceed from there.

These progressions are really useful and very nice. I play tango which is often in minor keys. Are your progressions also for minor keys?

The Roman numerals stand for the chords in a key. 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.

Does this help?

Hi,

I’m confused with Chord Families (Major) where I, IV, V to be played.

But, in this page, you mention 1,3,5 as a Major Chord.

What are these two? pls explain.
