In the case of borrowed chords, they are chromatic chords that are related to the prevalent key.<\/p>\n<p>Borrowed chords are derived from the parallel minor key and there&#8217;s no better way to proceed than to define the parallel minor key.<\/p>\n<h3>A Short Note On The Parallel Minor Key<\/h3>\n<p>There are 12 minor keys in tonal music and any minor key that shares the same tonic (aka &#8211; &#8220;first tone&#8221;) with any given major key is described as the parallel minor key.<\/p>\n<p>The major and minor keys below have C as their tonic:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;consequently, the key of C minor is the parallel minor key to the key of C major.<\/p>\n<h3>Scale-Tone Chords From The Parallel Minor Key<\/h3>\n<p>There are seven unique scale tone chords in the parallel minor key and we&#8217;ll be using the key of C minor as a reference to determine these scale tone chords.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check Them Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 3-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,G,Bb,,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 4-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,C,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 6-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,C,Eb,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 7-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,F,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOut of these seven scale tone chords in the parallel minor key are top four chords that gospel musicians always borrow and I&#8217;ll show you these chords in the next segment.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 4 Chords Gospel Musicians Always Borrow<\/h2>\n<p>In gospel music harmony, you&#8217;ll certainly come across these four chord examples in the key of C major:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The D diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe F minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,C,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Bb,D,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Bb major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,F,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and they are all borrowed from the parallel minor key (the key of C minor):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Chord #1 &#8212;

For example, here&#8217;s how a gospel choir may harmonize the first five tones of the C major scale:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,C,&amp;color=FFFF00&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nYou can&#8217;t exhaust the number of gospel songs with the borrowed 4-chord and this is because gospel musicians build a lot of gospel progressions, worship transitions, etc., around the 1-chord and the borrowed 4-chord.<\/p>\n<p>The 4-chord is not exclusively for gospel musicians; R &amp; B musicians borrow the 4-chord as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check This Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I know this sounds familiar and
