A closely related key can be defined as one that has many common chords. A relative major or minor key has all of its chords in common; a dominant or subdominant key has four in common. Less closely related keys have two or fewer chords in common. For example, C major and A minor have 7 common chords while C major and F ♯ major have 0 common ...
In voicing jazz chords, performers focus first on the seventh and the major or minor third of the chord, with the latter indicating the chord quality, along with added chord extensions (e.g., elevenths, even if not indicated in the lead sheet or fake book) to add tone "colour" to the chord.
In the key of C major, the I major 7 chord is "C, E, G, B," the iii chord ("III–7" [11]) is E minor 7 ("E, G, B, D") and the vi minor 7 chord is A minor 7 ("A, C, E, G"). Both of the tonic substitute chords use notes from the tonic chord, which means that they usually support a melody originally designed for the tonic (I) chord.
Most commonly, power chords (e.g., C–G–C) are expressed using a "5" (e.g., C 5). 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 ...
The accompaniment performers translate the Roman numerals to the specific chords that would be used in a given key. In the key of E major, the diatonic chords are: E maj7 becomes I maj7 (also I ∆7, or simply I) F ♯ m 7 becomes II m7 (also II −7, II min7, IIm, or II −) G ♯ m 7 becomes III m7 (also III −7, III min7, IIIm, or III −)
In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]
Songwriter Harlan Howard once said "country music is three chords and the truth." [2] Lou Reed said "One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz." [3] Reed nevertheless wrote many songs with unique or complex chord progressions himself, such as the material on Berlin.
