I am having trouble understanding something. I think of the major scale and understand it to be as follows…
1 chord = Major
2 chord = minor
3 chord = minor
4 chord = major
5 chord = major
6 chord = minor (relative minor)
7 chord = not worried about right now (lol)When a piece is in a minor key ( such as the caged lesson for the minor chords ) I dont understand how to find which ones are major and which ones are minor as listed above. So Brian is using C minor as the one chord and F minor as the 4 chord and G major as the five chord. Is there a formula for minor like there is for major?
And if there is do you still use the major scale as your reference point for the key signature? Thank you for any light that you could shine on this subject.
