Answer is &#8220;A.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That means literally play the same notes of a C major scale starting and ending on A. That&#8217;s it. Don&#8217;t make it harder than it is. Don&#8217;t overanalyze. Play C major from A to A and you&#8217;ve got yourself an &#8220;A minor&#8221; scale.<\/p>\n<p>C D E F G <strong>A B C D E F G A<\/strong> B C.<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>The same goes for chords too.<\/p>\n<p>If the &#8220;A minor&#8221; scale contains the notes of the C major scale, what about their respective chords?<\/p>\n<p>Yup.<\/p>\n<p>They do too.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an A minor 7 chord: A + C + E + G<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,C,E,G&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you see the C major chord there?<\/p>\n<p>A + <strong>&#8220;C + E + G&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So we can make a rule out of this too.<\/p>\n<p>Minor 7 chords can be created by playing any major chord with the 6th tone of that major chord&#8217;s scale as the bass note. In this case, we played C major with A as the lowest bass note. Altogether, it gave us an A minor 7 chord.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this with all your major scales and their 6th tones. The 6th tone of F major is D so if you play an F major chord over D, you&#8217;ll have a D minor 7.<\/p>\n<p>The 6th tone of G major is E so if you play a G major chord over E bass, you&#8217;ll have an E minor chord.<\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s look at a C major 7 chord: C + E + G + B<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,G,B&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you see the minor chord in there?<\/p>\n<p>I do.<\/p>\n<p>C + <strong>E + G + B<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an E minor chord inside the C major 7 chord.<\/p>\n<p>And understanding this lets you be very flexible with your major 7, major 9, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\">extended chords.<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can play C in your left hand and pick from any of these &#8220;minor&#8221; chord options in your right hand:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,E&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,B,E,G&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>All three of these give you a C major 7 chord.<\/p>\n<p>If you &#8220;upgrade&#8221; your E minor to E minor 7, that also upgrades your entire chord to C major 9 (instead of the former C major 7):<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B,D&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,D,E&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,B,D,E,G&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,D,E,G,B,&#038;color=&#038;size=1' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>So the next time you feel the temptation to confuse yourself over major and minor chords, remember that they need each other.
