Minor chords

Minor chords or secondary chords add their own distinct "color" to harmonies. Using a major scale, the II, III and VI scale degrees are all minor chords.
The III chord moves naturally to VI, but progressions become much more interesting when they are combined with major chords. Some possible combinations are: I- III-VI-IV-V-I or I-IV-II-V-III-VI-V-I. For more info on Harmony 101, click on Free Tips while visiting the website lauraweed.com
As you experiment with chord progressions, you're sure to find a combination (or two or three!) that you'll enjoy using while creatingmusic4u.
