What are the major scales for a violin?

Answer 1

A Violin cannot play chords. It can however do Double Stop which is playing to two notes on two different strings at the same time, for example E and A or A and D******************** A violin can certainly play chords. There are many pieces which implement or even feature chords in the violin repertoire. However, this is considered to be a very advanced technique due to the skill required to bow 3 or 4 strings simultaneously, or at least to give the illusion of the 4 notes being sounded simultaneously. Therefore, unlike Guitarists, violinists do not deal with learning how to play chords for many years. Mandolins, on the other hand, are certainly a chordal instrument, and since the violin and the mandolin share string names and identical tuning, you can build chords on the violin by looking at a mandolin chart. See links. ************************ There are not any main chords that you play but you do play them. It takes a long time to learn them but, as you play notes, if you play more than one at a time, it is considered a chord. If you play two notes together it is known as a double stop.

Answer 2

A chord is simply two or more notes sounded simultaneously, so a violin can certainly be used to play chords when using a bow, and since violin tuning is the same as mandolin tuning, the chords are the same, but the violin would have to be strummed with the fingers to achieve maximum effect.

Answer 3

The major scales for a violin are the same as for any other instrument.

Answer 4

the first, third and fifth keys of a scale. Most basis chords are based on these three notes.

Answer 5

C, D, F, A and G are the simplest, and their 7th chords are pretty easy as well.
