is the 6th tone.<\/p>\n<p>Simply play these same notes <em>(don&#8217;t change a thing!)<\/em> starting and ending on A and you&#8217;ve got yourself an &#8220;A minor&#8221; scale.<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"major and minor chords A minor\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>We call C major and A minor <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Relative_key\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">relative keys<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>C is the relative major of A minor. <\/p>\n<p>A minor is the relative minor of C major.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Major and Minor Chord Conversions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Chords work the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Take a C major chord:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,G,&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"major and minor chords C major\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Its notes are: C, E, G.<\/p>\n<p>To convert this chord into its relative minor (that is, &#8220;A minor&#8221;), simply add the &#8220;6th&#8221; tone to the bottom of the chord.<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,C,E,G&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"major and minor chords A minor\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s called an &#8220;A minor 7&#8221; chord.<\/p>\n<p>Now, just in case you&#8217;re not wanting to play a fancy &#8220;A minor 7&#8221; and just want to play the basic &#8220;A minor&#8221; triad, drop the highest note (G) and you&#8217;ve got yourself a regular A minor triad:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,C,E&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"a minor triad\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s apply this principle to another key.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of F, you&#8217;d take an F major chord:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,A,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"major and minor chords F major\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>Identify the 6th tone, which is D, and simply place that on the bottom:<br \/>\n<img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,F,A,C&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"major and minor chords D minor\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>This gives us a D minor 7 chord.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re only after a 3-fingered D minor triad, drop the highest note:<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,F,A,&#038;color=&#038;size=2' alt=\"major and minor chords D minor\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>There you have it&#8230;
