Minor Chords & Their progressions

 Much dance music is done in the minor key.

Building these chords is a pretty similar process to the major key.

You start with a root note, then count 3 semitones up & then 7 up.

(Major triads : start with a root note, then count 4 semitones up & then 7 up).

 

So a minor triad chord is built from a root note, a minor third and a perfect fifth.
