Key<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve refreshed our minds on minor chords and where they belong in the major key, let&#8217;s look at how these secondary chords can be applied in the major key.<\/p>\n<h3>The Application Of The 2-Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The 2-chord in the key of C major takes its root from the 2nd tone of the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the right hand, we have the D minor triad which consists of D, F, and

src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, both chords:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img

decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsequently, the 2-chord can be used in

in the major key and don&#8217;t forget that the 4-chord is a primary chord while the 2-chord is a secondary chord.<\/p>\n<h3>The Application Of The 3-Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The 3-chord in the key of C major takes its root from the 3rd tone of the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOn the right hand, we have the E minor triad which consists of E, G, and

the the 3-chord (its root and third) which are E and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are identical with the third and fifth tones of the 1-chord (the C major triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, both chords:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 3-chord:<br \/>\n<img
