It is saying:
do re mo fa sol la si do
re mi fa sol la si do re
mi fa sol la si do re mi
fa sol la si do re mi fa
sol la si do re mic fa sol
la si do re mic fa sol la
si do re mi fa sol la si
(It then repeats itself and you have already leaned most there is in music)
Or in different notation:
c d e f g a b c
d e f g a b c d
e f g a b c d e
f g a b c d e f
g a b c d e f g
a b c d e f g a
b c d e f g a b
(Repeats itself and you have leaned most there is in music).
How?
The chords are derived by taking notes one by one:
do mi sol si
re fa la do
mi sol si re
fa la do mi
sol si re fa
la do mi sol
si re fa la
(That's almost all the chords on our planet)
The exact type of chord will be automatically derived by knowing the key of the song, symphony etc. the key dictates which of the notes will be flat or sharp.
For example:
On the song The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood at the point where lyrics go: This time we go sublime...the chords are:
reb fa lab do This time we go sublime
do mib sol sib Lovers entwine divine divine
sib reb fa lab Love is danger, love is pleasure
do mib sol sib Love is pure your only treasure
the key of The Power of Love is F minor so all la, si, re, mi are flat, this all needed to be remembered.
The first chord of this example is major 7th, the 2nd minor 7th, all this is derived automatically from knowing the key and which notes are flat, no need to remember anything else.
Most songs or chords are even simpler in the sense that only the 1 3 5 above bass is used instead of 1 3 5 7 making simple major or minor chords. Some chords are 9ths using up to 1 3 5 7 9 with respect to bass. Some chords use the 6th with respect to bass and the 3rd added. Above bass does not mean near bass, the notes can be anywhere high at any octave they sound good. And the bass is base coming from the Hellenic word Βασις meaning foundation or root.[Niedt, Bach]
