It's time to analyze Quadad Chords just like we did with Triads.

Can we please have the answers to the exercise portion of this lesson where we are to write out the notes in the E Major Diatonic Quadads? I’m having trouble analyzing the notes in each chord to work out what chord type is on each scale degree. Specifically, dealing with the root notes as a sharp. Thanks!
I think I just cracked the code
does it almost follow the Diatonic Chord Progression of Major-Minor-Minor-Major-Major-Minor-Diminished? but instead of that, it’d be Maj7-Min7-Min7-Maj7-7-Min7-Min7b5?
EDIT: I just got to the Diatonic Quadad Chord Progression and man do I feel smart

Here is a clue …

You are comparing the chord notes with the major scale of each chords root note.
E major scale = E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#
Quadad = E (1), G# (3), B (5), D# (7) = 1, 3, 5, 7 = maj7
F# major scale = F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#
Quadad = F# (1), A (b3), C# (5), E (b7) = 1, b3, 5, b7 = min7
From earluer lessons you should be able to complete the major scales for all root notes of the quadads and decide if the notes within the quadads match exactly or are modified (by flattening).
G# major scale =
A major scale =
B major scale =
C# major scale =
D# major scale =
I hope that helps.

Yes indeed.
