Hey Friend,
There is one more minor key we haven’t looked at yet to compliment the major keys we’ve studied so far, and that is C# minor.
C# minor is the relative minor key to the key of E major. If you remember, the relative keys have the same notes in both, but the starting point (the 1 note or tonic) changes.
The Key of E major is:
E F# G# A B C# D# (E)
Following the rules of relative keys, if we drop back three semitones, we’ll have the key that is the relative minor:
3 < 2 < 1 < (0)
C# D D# (E)
Since we use the same notes in the key of C# minor, we can just change the starting point on E major to the C# note and count from there:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8)
C# D# E F# G# A B (C#)
For the harmonic progression of C# minor, we’ll end up with the same chords as what we have in E major, again simply shifting the rating point to C#:
[E Major]
I IIm IIIm IV V VIm VIIdim (I)
E F#m G#m A B C#m D#dim (E)
C#m D#dim E F#m G#m A B (C#m)
Im IIdim III IVm Vm VI VII (Im) [C Minor]
We’ll have to continue tomorrow. Have a great Thursday...
Peace~
Dave
