If you have come this far, you should technically be able to construct most of the chords played in western music. So if i wanted a Ebm7, you could work it out easily
We are already getting somewhere.
Ps. Keeping praticing those scales. First tackle the major scales and have those memorized like the back of your head. This might take sometime, but it's one of those things you will constantly do on the side while you tackle the other lessons. Memorizing them helps alot! Most especially in figuring out chords and if you pratice playing them, it improves your finger dexterity on the keys.
