Conquering Keys

Scales have their own built in chord systems. By using the notes from a scale we can make up 7 different chords. These chords made from the scale will work perfectly with it. Each chord constructed from a scale plays a different role. Knowing how they interact with each other can make you a better player and songwriter.
