The &#8220;C&#8221; is the same but they are totally different scales&#8230; totally different worlds &#8212; but they do have the &#8220;C&#8221; in common.<\/p>\n<p>Sort of like all the other people named &#8220;Jermaine&#8221; out there (including Jermaine Jackson, Jermaine O&#8217;neal, Jermaine Dupri). Just because we have the same name doesn&#8217;t mean we&#8217;re related or similar&#8230; but we do share the name.<\/p>\n<p>Now, of course, parallel keys are little deeper than that but this will hold you for the purposes of this lesson.<\/p>\n<p>So back to &#8220;borrowing&#8221; chords&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you were in the key of  C major. The chords most associated with the C major scale are shown below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1st Tone: C \/ Chord = C major 7 (C E G B)<br \/>\n2nd Tone: D \/ Chord = D minor 7 (D F A C)<br \/>\n3rd Tone: E \/ Chord = E minor 7 (E G B D)<br \/>\n4th Tone: F \/ Chord = F major 7 (F A C E)<br \/>\n5th Tone: G \/ Chord = G dominant 7 (G B D F)<br \/>\n6th Tone: A \/ Chord = A minor 7 (A C E G)<br \/>\n7th Tone: B \/ Chord = B half diminished (B D F A)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know where I got these chords from, you&#8217;ll probably want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/the-what-key-am-i-in-game-episode-1\">read this past lesson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s go to the parallel minor, which is _____?????______?<\/p>\n<p>C minor<\/p>\n<p>(To understand where I get the following chords associated with the C minor scale, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/heres-a-method-thats-helping-beginners-play-in-minor-keys-overnight\">click here to view this past lesson<\/a>). But here&#8217;s a hint&#8230; if you know the key of Eb major, the chords of C minor are the same).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1st Tone: C \/ Chord = C minor 7 (C Eb G Bb)<br \/>\n2nd Tone: D \/ Chord = D half diminished 7 (D F Ab C)<br \/>\n3rd Tone: Eb \/ Chord = Eb major 7 (Eb G Bb D)<br \/>\n4th Tone: F \/ Chord = F minor 7 (F Ab C Eb)<br \/>\n5th Tone: G \/ Chord = G minor 7 (G Bb D F)<br \/>\n6th Tone: Ab \/ Chord = Ab major 7 (Ab C Eb G)<br \/>\n7th Tone: Bb \/ Chord = Bb dominant 7 (Bb D F Ab)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So the idea of &#8220;borrowing&#8221; chords is just like it sounds.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s when you <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">borrow chords<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> from the parallel major or minor key.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one of my favorite examples (especially if you like gospel music).<\/p>\n<p>You can play this at the end of <em>&#8220;O Come All Ye Faithful.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s basically a &#8220;2-5-1&#8221; chord progression.<\/p>\n<p>That is, a chord based on the 2nd tone of the scale going to a chord on the 5th &#8212; and finally ending on a chord on the 1st tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, you&#8217;d use the chords from the first chart above. The 2nd degree in C major would usually be a &#8220;D minor 7&#8221; chord. The 5th degree, a &#8220;G dominant 7&#8221; chord, and the 1st degree, a &#8220;C major 7&#8221; chord.<\/p>\n<p>But what I&#8217;m going to do is borrow a chord from the 2nd tone of the parallel minor key.<\/p>\n<p>So instead of playing a usual <strong>&#8220;D minor 7&#8221;<\/strong> on the 2nd tone, I&#8217;m going to <em>borrow<\/em> the <strong>&#8220;D half diminished 7&#8221;<\/strong> chord from C minor.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the results:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Left hand: D \/\/\/ Right hand: D F Ab C<br \/>\nLeft hand: G \/\/\/ Right hand: E G C<br \/>\nLeft hand: G \/\/\/ Right hand: D G B<br \/>\nLeft hand: C \/\/\/ Right hand: E G C<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(This is a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2-5-1 chord progression<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> with some suspended action on the &#8220;G&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>I personally like to invert the <strong>&#8220;D half diminished 7&#8221;<\/strong> chord. I think it sounds better. And since I&#8217;m inverting it, I have to change the other chords (&#8230;I don&#8217;t &#8220;have&#8221; to but it sounds much better and flows more harmoniously):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Left hand: D \/\/\/ Right hand: Ab C D F<br \/>\nLeft hand: G \/\/\/ Right hand: G C E<br \/>\nLeft hand: G \/\/\/ Right hand: F A D *<br \/>\nLeft hand: G \/\/\/ Right hand: E G C<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*I switched the second &#8220;G&#8221; chord a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>So the moral of this lesson is that you don&#8217;t have to play the chords as they&#8217;re written in the &#8220;textbook.&#8221; You can &#8220;borrow&#8221; chords.
