A chord chart. Play ⓘ. A chord chart (or chart) is a form of musical notation that describes the basic harmonic and rhythmic information for a song or tune. It is the most common form of notation used by professional session musicians playing jazz or popular music.
In the key of C major, these would be: D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor, and C minor. Despite being three sharps or flats away from the original key in the circle of fifths, parallel keys are also considered as closely related keys as the tonal center is the same, and this makes this key have an affinity with the original key.
B–C ♯ (major second), C ♯ –D ♯ (major second), D ♯ –E ♯ (major second), and E ♯ –F ♮ (diminished second). Notice that the last diminished second is formed by two enharmonically equivalent notes (E ♯ and F ♮). On a piano keyboard, these notes are produced by the same key.

[citation needed] However, the chords most often used in a piece in a particular key are those that contain the notes in the corresponding scale, and conventional progressions of these chords, particularly cadences, orient the listener around the tonic.
In the first chord, E ♭ major, the "E ♭" indicates that the chord is built on the root note "E ♭" and the word "major" indicates that a major chord is built on this "E ♭" note.

Power chords are also referred to as fifth chords, indeterminate chords, or neutral chords [citation needed] (not to be confused with the quarter tone neutral chord, a stacking of two neutral thirds, e.g. C–E –G) since they are inherently neither major nor minor; generally, a power chord refers to a specific doubled-root, three-note voicing ...
