These chords – and their equivalents in other keys – form the basis of the vast majority of main room house tracks. In many cases these chords are simplified into triads (three-note chords) by omitting the 7 ths: A minor – B diminished – C major – D minor – E minor – F major – G major – A minor… Using just the notes in the A minor scale, we can build the following seven chords: A minor 7 – B minor 7 flat 5 – C major 7 – D minor 7 – E minor 7 – F major 7 – G dominant 7 – A minor 7… We’ve used an A minor scale, simply because it just uses the white notes on our keyboard – A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A: In this edition of Passing Notes, we’re going back to basics and looking at the natural minor scale and some simple examples of minor chord progressions.įirstly, we’ll look at the natural minor scale (which is also the Aeolian mode).
