  • @NimaSun A note alone can't be minor/major.

    C E G are the notes of a C major chord. In C minor, the third of a major chord (E) is flattened (one semitone down) thus we end up with C D# G. Same thing applies to all other major chords. For instance, E major: E G# B - E minor: E G B. Read more about intervals and what intervals chords encompasses.

  • a major chord is always, from the first key, 4 keys over(counting sharps and flats) and then 5 from the second key

  • What is it that makes that C a major? Because I'm assuming that we also have C notes that are minor right?

  • black chord? that is most def a C7 or dominant 7th... and all you had to say was I,V repeat or tonic, dominant...
