Piano Minor Chords

Video Transcript

"In this clip about how to accompany yourself on piano, we're going to learn about the minor chord. So, let's start here on C. And, the only difference between this is a major chord. Which, we learned in our last clip. The only difference is the third of a chord here. This note is a half step down. Oh, that's so sad. Ok. So, what that means is the distance between this and this is a minor third. And, this distance between this and this is a major third. So, whereas before the distance was major third-minor third for a major chord. This is minor third-major chord. So, let's build a minor chord together on another note. Let's start on G. We've got to go up a minor third, one-two-three. Minor third interval and then a major third. One-two-three-four. And, we recognize that. And, a good way to practice is to do both hands. G minor. C minor. D minor. Continue like that. Get really familiar with your major and minor chords."
