Major chords are the most common chords in Western popular music. It's no surprise since they sound happy, are easy to learn and fun to play. Learning major chords is essential to being able to play your favorite songs. An E-flat (Eb) major chord is formed from the first, third, and fifth notes of the Eb major scale. The notes, from lowest to highest are Eb, G and Bb.

In the video, Lindsey shows you how to play the Eb major chord. Start by placing your right thumb on the root (Eb). Now place your middle finger on the third (G).
