Or vise versa&#8230; if the song was in C minor, you could take chords from C major. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Some common borrowed chords in C major:<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) On the 2nd tone of the scale, instead of playing your normal D minor (or 2-minor), you could play D half-diminished 7. Sounds great leading to a 5-chord.<\/p>\n<p>2) Instead of going to the 5-chord to end a song or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/who-else-wants-to-learn-the-famous-amen-cadence\">half-cadence<\/a>, you can go to Bb major (the &#8220;b7&#8221;). Sounds great and you hear it in a lot of contemporary music.<\/p>\n<p>3) If you want to change the mood of your song, change your 4-chord &#8212; which is normally F major &#8212; to an F minor.<\/p>\n<p>4) Use Ab major (the b6) to come down to your 5-chord (Gdom7)<\/p>\n<p>5) Even though this chord isn&#8217;t technically in C natural minor (it&#8217;s in C <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/warning-play-these-harmonic-minor-chords-at-your-own-risk\">harmonic minor<\/a>), use Bdim7 (B+D+F+Ab) on the 7th degree. It&#8217;s a great leading tone back home to any C chord.<\/p>\n<p>6) Use Eb major (b3 tone) in certain spots&#8230; like to lead to the 4-chord&#8230; or to lead to the b6 (Ab), which can come down to the 5-chord (G), which leads back home to C. See how these things are chained together?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s all I have for today. It&#8217;s Saturday at about 6am so everyone&#8217;s sleep. I thought I&#8217;d add another content lesson but don&#8217;t get used to Saturdays&#8230; this is an anomaly! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>These borrowed chords should give you a lot to work on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/gk202picb.jpg\" class=\"videopic\">Today, let&#8217;s talk about borrowed chords.<\/p>\n<p>They are chords literally borrowed from what we call the &#8220;parallel&#8221; minor or major key.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s not mix up &#8220;parallel&#8221; with &#8220;relative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If we were in the key of C, as we&#8217;ve learned in other lessons, A, the 6th degree of C, is the relative minor of C.
