Which piano chords can I use with a B flat major scale melody?

Q. I am writing a melody using the B flat major scale (B flat, C, D, E flat, F, G, A). Which piano chords can I use to accompany the melody?

Thanks in advance.

A. Just use the I, IV, V & V7 chords together if in doubt.

These chords are:
I (Bb), IV ( Eb ), V (F), V7 (F7) - - - [ F,A,C, and added Eb]

------------ ------------- -------------- ------------- --------------

I hope this helps you out.

Piano Chord Question :) :) :)?

Q. If I make a chord out of A B and E what is the name of that chord

the song is in A minor (nice and easy)

I think its an A minor but instead of a minor third it is a diminished third? but what is the chord called?

thank you for your help!

A. It depends on context. It could be either an Asus2 or an Esus4. Either way it's a suspended chord, and typically suspended chords want to pull you to resolve them to their non-suspended sibling. So where does it *go* from A-B-E? If it goes to A-C-E (Am), or even A-C#-E (A major), then it was Asus2. If it goes to G#-B-E (E major), then it was Esus4. Even if it doesn't *actually* go to one of those, which one feels like the more natural place it wants to go to?

EDIT: Hey, I said the same thing as i. jones, two hours before he did, and he gets a thumbs up and I don't? What a gyp!

This is fairly simple stuff. I suggest you watch my videos on chord construction. They are for guitar, but the information is applicable to any instrument.
