determining chords in any key

Patrick · 2004-11-04T02:03:21Z

I was reading a page on the Skeptical Guitarist site about how to determine the three main chords of a keyseems to say that first you lay out all seven notes starting with the tonic, and label these notes 1 through 7. The main chords that make up that key will be the 1, 4, and 5 chords. Okay.But I just want to confirm that these are the 4th and 5th of the major scale, right? So in some keys, the 1st, 4th and 5th may be a sharp/flat...it just so happens that in the CAGED keys, the 1 4 and 5 are natural. Right?
