Major scale of C:
C D E F G A B C
Therefore the "gaps" or intervals are two notes - a tone; except E to F and B to C where these are a semitone - one note. So, E sharp IS F and B sharp IS C. Then you see F# is Gb and Bb is A#.

I personally prefer the minor chords ...
Easy, all chords are a triad, major ones are root + 3rd + 5th; minor just have the 3rd flattened ~ root + b3rd + 5th.

However, if you have your Marshall stack on "11" for massive overdriven sustain, then don't use the 3rd's at all because of discordant odd order harmonics, just use root + 4th + 5th (AKA a power chord), handy thing being neither major or minor.

but they're all good ... depending on how you use them?
Oh, you'll be going round in a circle of fourths then, how's the Myxolydian and Locrian modes coming?

Chord charts in FRENCH???????
