the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check It Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note #1.\u00a0<\/strong> The 2-chord is a minor chord representing MINOR chords which are the third most important chords in the major key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note #2.\u00a0<\/strong> The 5-chord is a dominant chord representing DOMINANT chords which are the second most important chords in the key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note #3.<\/strong>\u00a0 The 1-chord is a major chord representing MAJOR chords which are the most important chords in the key.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s universally accepted that the 1-chord is the most important chord in the key and this is because it is <em>acoustically<\/em> the most stable chord, <em>theoretically<\/em> the chord of the most important tone of the key, and <em>practically<\/em> the first and\/or last chord in most songs.<\/p>\n<p>So, the 1-chord is the most important chord in the key and there are acoustic, theoretical, and practical basis for that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;So, What&#8217;s The Second Chord In Importance?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Finally&#8230;What&#8217;s The Third Chord In Importance?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Although major, dominant, and minor chords are top three in importance, that&#8217;s NOT to say that other chords like the diminished, etc., are not important.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, we&#8217;ll discuss other chord types other than these top three that you MUST not be without.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I am glad you read this blog post today and I&#8217;m doubly sure you learned a couple of things.
