Hey Friend,
The final triad we can form from the notes that make up the B minor scale (from the key of B minor) is A major. A falls in line as the VII chord in the harmonic progression:
Im IIdim III IVm Vm VI VII
Bm C#dim D Em F#m G A
The A major chord is built from the 1 3 5 notes of the A major scale (A, C# and E):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8)
A B C# D E F# G# (A)
And, as you would expect by now, these notes also make up part of the B minor scale:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8)
B C# D E F# G A (B)
Here are the various positions up the neck where you can play A Major.
And its barre chords:
That’ll do it for the key of B minor. The next key we’re going to look at is the key of F# minor. I’ll be you’re excited! But I may make you wait until next week to get started on that… Can you hear Carly Simon singing? Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great one!
Peace~
Dave
