What are chords used for?

How Electric Guitar Chords and Scales Are UsedWell, if you mean actually on the guitar, they are the building blocks of any song. The chords are the combinations of notes played in songs.

3----

3-----3-

2-----------

--3-------------

though the notes are progressing to diffent frets you would keep your hand on the G chord.

A great way to learn about using scales and chords together is by listening to and learning 'little wing' by jimi hendrix. In this song, he plays chords, and then uses notes from scales (that relate to those chords) to form nice melodic parts.

It depends on which scale of c-minor you would use: there are four basic scales, aeolian: this is the scale you extract from E flat major (c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b flat), harmonic: (c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b), melodic (c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b) - in classical music this is the upgoing version, the downversion is c, b flat, a flat, g, f, e flat, d, c. then you have the c minor dorian scale: this you can hear on so what by miles Davis and is often related to the modal idiom: (c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b flat). to know which scale to use you have to know something about functional harmony: what you play has to have some reference to what's coming (a different chord), f.i.: you cannot play an a in c minor when going to f minor.

What are the name of the notes on the lines in the treble clef?

The treble clef is sometimes called the G clef, because the symbol crosses the line for G (and only that line) four times. That's not quite what you asked, but it's the most closely related information I know of.

Actually, to a musician, the treble clef identifies ALL the notes on the staff, because when you see it you know the lowest line is E, the first space is F, etc.

What chord is comprised of FBD sharp and G sharp?

F diminished 7, B diminished 7, D diminished 7, and G# diminished 7 will all have these same four notes.

F diminished ( Fdim )

It's actually an F whole diminished 7th chord. It would be an F diminished chord if there were no 'd' in the cord. Also, the correct way to spell the chord would actually be like this:

F-Ab (not G#)-Cb (not B)-Ebb (not D).

All the pitches are correct, just not their names. Any F triad with any kind of 7th attached will be some alteration of the notes F-A-C-E. This is how people quickly identify chords based on the root.

Hope that helps! just thought that would improve the answer a little bit.
