I talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/heres-a-method-thats-helping-beginners-play-in-minor-keys-overnight\">relative minors in this past post.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like in C major, the relative minor is &#8220;A.&#8221; It&#8217;s basically the 6th tone of the scale (or you can count backwards two scale tones&#8230; &#8220;C > B > A&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>I said all that to say this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>3 of the 4 secondary chords are basically relative minors of the primary chords. Let me break it down&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We already know that &#8220;A&#8221; is the relative minor (6th tone) of C major so that takes care of the C major primary chord.<\/p>\n<p>What is the <em>relative minor<\/em> of F major? It&#8217;s D!<\/p>\n<p>And the <em>relative minor<\/em> of G major? It&#8217;s E!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C > A<br \/>\nF > D<br \/>\nG > E<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Like I said above, you can think of this as basically 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scale tones<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> down from any primary chord.<\/p>\n<p>Take C major for example&#8230;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go down two scale tones &#8212; B is one, A is two. <\/li>\n<li>&#8220;A&#8221; is the relative minor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>F major&#8230;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go down two scale tones &#8212; E is one, D is two.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;D&#8221; is the relative minor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>G major&#8230;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go down two scale tones (and I&#8217;m still referring to the C major scale since we&#8217;re talking about primary chords from the C major scale but even if you used the G major scale, you&#8217;d arrive at the same tone).<\/li>\n<li>\n&#8220;E&#8221; is the relative minor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"mediumtext\">Why is this important?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Relative minors and majors have a very strong connection. They share the same key signature. They have the same notes in their scales. Heck, their chords are pretty much the same.<\/p>\n<p>Want me to prove it to you?<\/p>\n<div class=\"productinfo\">\nHow do you play an &#8220;A minor 7&#8221; chord?<\/p>\n<p>[Cough Cough]. It&#8217;s simply &#8220;A + [C major]&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A + <strong>C + E + G<\/strong> = A minor 7 chord<\/div>\n<div class=\"productinfo\">\nHow do you play a &#8220;D minor 7&#8221; chord?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty much &#8220;D + [F major]&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>D + <strong>F + A + C<\/strong> = D minor 7 chord.<\/div>\n<div class=\"productinfo\">\nAnd how do you play an &#8220;E minor 7&#8221; chord?<\/p>\n<p>Yup, you guessed it! &#8220;E + [G major]&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>E + <strong>G + B + D<\/strong> = E minor 7 chord.<\/div>\n<p class=\"mediumtext\">So what does all this mean?<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, whenever you want to make things more interesting, throw in the right secondary chords!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, most songs can be played with just primary chords (the &#8220;1,&#8221; &#8220;4,&#8221; and &#8220;5&#8221;). That&#8217;s true!<\/p>\n<p>But if you want to get more interesting, you start throwing in these secondary chords.<\/p>\n<p>And now that you know how the secondary chords relate to the primary chords, you can start substituting certain chords for others (***hint hint***).<\/p>\n<p>Until next time &#8212;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/gk202picb.jpg\" class=\"videopic\">I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of e-mails about primary and secondary chords so I wanted to take this time to explain them.<\/p>\n<p>Every key has what we call <strong>&#8220;primary&#8221;<\/strong> chords and <strong>&#8220;secondary&#8221;<\/strong> chords.
