Description:
The minor chord is a triad (a three-note chord). From the root you go up a minor third, and then a major third up to the fifth. I is the minor third up from the root that makes it a major chord. The chord has the notes - counted from the root - 1 - b3 - 5. In C-minor that is C - Eb - G. The chord might be inverted, meaning that we change the order of the notes. In first inversion we play the notes b3 - 5 - 1, or Eb - G - C if we stick to C-minor. The second inversion is 5 - 1 - b3, or G - C - Eb in C-minor. ...
