![]() ![]() It doesn’t really matter which system you use, aslong as you understand which system is being used and what the symbols are referring to. Under this system, they are assuming you know the tonality and scale degree of each chord. To further confuse matters, you may see some people (for example, books by Walter Piston or William Caplin) refer to these chords as the following: I II III IV V VI VII You may see some people refer to the chords in the minor scale like this: i ii˚ III iv v VI VIIĪs they are assuming that the scale degrees we are using are from the minor scale. This system works by comparing scale degrees to the major scale. I like to use this system as it refers directly the scale degree that is being used. I have referred to minor chords, using numerals as: i ii˚ bIII iv v bVI bVII ![]() If we take the above table and apply it to all minor keys, we can find all the possible chords from all minor keys: ![]() In this article, we’ll look at how to harmonise the minor scale to get these chords, different minor scale chord progressions and some examples in different minor keys on guitar. If we harmonise the natural minor scale, we get the following chords: i (minor), ii˚ (diminished), bIII (major), iv (minor), v (minor), bVI (major) and bVII (major): Scale Degree These are the harmonic chords that are diatonic to the A flat minor scale.When we talk about chords in minor scales, we are usually thinking about chords from the natural minor scale (sometimes called the Aeolian mode). E major chord is the same as F Flat major chord. F♭ – A♭ – C♭ (F Flat major chord) *Notice that F♭ and E are enharmonic equivalents. C Sharp minor chord is the same as D Flat minor chord. ![]() D♭ – F♭ – A♭ (D Flat minor chord) *Notice that D♭ and C♯ are enharmonic equivalents. The seven diatonic chords in the A flat minor key are: Second chord in natural minor scale will always be diminished. Third, sixth and seventh chords in natural minor scale will always be major. We use uppercase roman numeral numbers to represent major chords, lowercase to represent minor chords, uppercase with a small plus sign to represent augmented chords, and lowercase with a small circle to represent diminished chords.įirst, fourth and fifth chords in natural minor will always be minor. All natural minor scales follow the same pattern: i, iiº, III, iv, v, VI, VII ![]()
