It has two regular flats and a white note. Most piansts prefer the E-flat spelling because it is simpler. However, the spelling of these two chords are different.
Your hand will be in the same place when you play both of these chords. So in a sense, like I said, Eb & D# chords are the same because they use the same exact notes. (Want to learn more about flats and sharps? See this video). Flats always go a half step down and sharps a half step up. The note Eb can also be D# (since it is both a half step UP from D and a half step DOWN from E). I know this might be confusing, but every black key on the piano has TWO names. The physical notes are the same, yes, but the spelling of the chord is different. You might be wondering if Eb major and D# major are the the same chord. Now, before going further, we need to talk about an important topic. If that sounds confusing, don’t worry! I’ll put it in beginner terms soon and show you lots of keyboard diagrams to help you out.
The E-flat chord is basically just a chord in the family of major chords, made up of 3 notes in what’s called a triad. It is formed the same as any other major chord – by building a major third and then a minor third on top of that. When you see the term “Eb” this is an abbreviation for E Flat. A “b” is a flat sign in music theory. I’ll teach you everything you need to know, and give you diagrams and tips as you’re learning. But don’t let that scare you! E flat is very easy to play. Since Eb is flat key, it will feel different than white key chords like F, G or A major. Like many other flat chords, it has a nice mellow sound.
