HOW TO know which chords belong to which family

Before you start asking "chords have families???", let me explain what it means. Basically, what this means is that for every key that you play a song in, there are certain chords that go with that key.

What is a key? Well, whenever you play a song, you have to choose a key to play that song in. This key determines how high or how low the song is. So for example, if you play a song in the key of G, and it is too high to sing, you can try a lower key like F or E etc.

Okay, back to chord family. I'll just take the most common key that beginners play songs in (mainly because playing songs in the key of G has simple chords):

The G family
--------------
Common chords that can be used for songs in the key of G are G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em. Of course, there are other chords that can be played, but these are the more common ones.

Here are some other chord families:

G family - G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em
A family - A, Bm, C#m, D, E, F#m
C family - C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am
D family - D, A, Bm, F#m, G, Em
E family - E, F#m, G#m, A, B, C#m

So there you have it, if you ever play a song in any of the above keys I mentioned (G, A, C, D, E), be sure to go through the chords above. This will greatly help you in figuring out the chords for songs. Of course with that being said, the most important thing then is to find out what key the song is played in. After that, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out the rest.

There is another way to find out which chords can be used for which family. However, it will require you to know how to write out a major scale. So, I would suggest to read the post on writing out a major scale before progressing any further.

After you have done so, the next step is just to add a minor to the 2nd, 3rd and 6th note. Here is an example of what I mean:

C major scale
--------------


C    Dm    Em    F    G    Am    B 

Yup, so this is the other way you can figure out the different chords of a family. Hope it helps!
