Our focus in this lesson is on essential passing chords for beginners on the piano.<\/p>\n

After learning primary chords (the 1-chord, 4-chord, and 5-chord) and how they are applied in accompaniment and harmonization, there is need to also explore passing chords because they add an extra dimension to chord progressions.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> If you’re beyond the beginners skill level, then this lesson is NOT for you. You may check out this lesson on passing chords for intermediate players.<\/p>\n

The goal of this lesson is to get you started with super basic passing chords that you can spice up chord progressions with at the moment.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the concept of passing chords before we proceed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Passing Chords — Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n

A passing chord is [usually a chromatic<\/a>] chord that connects two diatonic<\/a> chords. For example, the movement in the key of C major:
\n
\n…from the 1-chord:
\n
\n…to the 5-chord:
\n
\n…is known as the 1-5 chord progression.<\/p>\n

The two diatonic chords in the 1-5 chord progression can be connected with a passing chord. The passing chord comes after the 1-chord and before the 5-chord.<\/p>\n

The passing chord that connects the 1-chord and the 5-chord is the D major triad:
\n
\n…which is a chromatic chord.<\/p>\n

“So, Here’s The 1-5 Chord Progression Using The Passing Chord…”<\/em><\/p>\n

The 1-chord:
\n
\n…the passing chord:<\/p>\n

…the 5-chord:
\n
\nAlthough the 1-5 chord progression sounds pretty good, introducing a passing chord in-between to connect both chords adds more momentum to the chord progression.<\/p>\n

“Oh Come All Ye Faithful [Regular Progression]…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh come:
\n
\n…all ye faith:
\n
\n…ful.<\/p>\n

“Oh Come All Ye Faithful [With Passing Chords]…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh come:
\n
\n…all:
\n
\n…ye faith:
\n
\n…ful.<\/p>\n

You can see how the passing chord added more momentum to the chord progression.<\/p>\n

Essential Passing Chords For Beginners<\/h2>\n

Let’s go ahead and explore passing chords to the scale tone chords you’re already familiar with:<\/p>\n

The 1-chord<\/p>\n

The 2-chord<\/p>\n

The 3-chord<\/p>\n

The 4-chord<\/p>\n

The 5-chord<\/p>\n

The 6-chord<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All examples will be given using root position chords (triads) in the key of C major:
\n
\nFeel free to invert and transpose the chords.<\/p>\n

The Passing Chord To The 1-Chord<\/h3>\n

The 1-chord in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is the C major triad:
\n
\n…and its passing chord is the first inversion of the G major triad:
\n
\n…with a B-note on the bass:
\n
\nAltogether here’s the passing chord:
\n
\n…to the 1-chord:
\n<\/p>\n

The Passing Chord To The 2-Chord<\/h3>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the 2-chord is the D minor triad:
\n
\nThe passing chord to the 2-chord is the A major triad (played in first inversion):
\n
\n…with a C#-note on the bass:
\n
\nSo, here’s the passing chord:
\n
\n…to the 2-chord:
\n<\/p>\n

The Passing Chord To The 3-Chord<\/h3>\n

Still in the key of C major:
\n
\n…the 3-chord is the E minor triad:
\n
\nThe passing chord to the 3-chord is the B major triad (played in first inversion):
\n
\n…with a D#-note on the bass:
\n
\nAltogether here’s the passing chord:
\n
\n…to the 3-chord:
\n<\/p>\n

The Passing Chord To The 4-Chord<\/h3>\n

The 4-chord in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is the F major triad:
\n
\n…and its passing chord is the first inversion of the C major triad:
\n
\n…with an E-note on the bass:
\n
\nAltogether here’s the passing chord:
\n
\n…to the 4-chord:
\n<\/p>\n

The Passing Chord To The 5-Chord<\/h3>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the 5-chord is the G major triad:
\n
\nThe passing chord to the 5-chord is the D major triad (played in first inversion):
\n
\n…with an F#-note on the bass:
\n
\nSo, here’s the passing chord:
\n
\n…to the 5-chord:
\n<\/p>\n

The Passing Chord To The 6-Chord<\/h3>\n

The 6-chord in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is the A minor triad:
\n
\n…and its passing chord is the first inversion of the E major triad:
\n
\n…with a G#-note on the bass:
\n
\nAltogether here’s the passing chord:
\n
\n…to the 6-chord:
\n<\/p>\n

“Why Is There No Passing Chord To The 7-Chord?”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

Congratulations! You just made it through to the end off this lesson and you’ve learned 6 passing chords that you can progress to different scale tone chords with.<\/p>\n

Like I recommended earlier, after learning these chords, feel free to invert and transpose them to other keys.<\/p>\n
