Chord vii, G diminished consists of the notes, G – Bb – Db.Chord vi, F minor consists of the notes, F – Ab – C.Chord V, E flat major contains the notes, Eb – G – Bb.Chord IV, Db major contains the notes, Db – F – Ab.Chord iii, C minor contains the notes, C – Eb – G.Chord ii, B flat minor consists of the notes, Bb – Db – F.Chord I, A flat major consists of the notes, Ab – C – Eb.Now that we know the notes of the Ab major scale, let’s learn the triad chords in this scale/key and their notes.

The finger numbers are as follows: Thumb: 1, index finger: 2, middle finger: 3, ring finger: 4, pinky (little) finger: 5. Finally, we move up a half step from G to Ab. Next, we move up one whole step from F to G. Next, we go up one whole step from Db to Eb. Next, we move up a half step from C to Db. Using this formula, let’s form the Ab major scale. To count up a half step (semitone), count up from the last note up by one physical piano key, either white or black. To count up a whole step (whole tone), count up by two physical piano keys, either white or black. “W” stands for whole step, and “H” stands for half step. They are based on the formula W-W-H-W-W-W-H. Major scales are formed by combining whole step and half step intervals. Bb is the supertonic of the A-flat major scale.Ab is the tonic of the A-flat major scale.To learn more about this scale and others, check out my course, Learn Scales & Music Theory & Give Yourself An Upper Hand.
