§ Transitioning from Major to Minor chord
- I figured this out when messing about with writing something in Dmajor, which is not a scale I use often, but was inspired to use since I want to get better at using scales-with-sharps, and it's my girlfriend's favourite scale.
- To go from CM to Cm, perform the following sequence:
CM, AbM, Fm, Cm.
X:1
T:CM to Cm
M:4/4
L:1/4
K:C
"CM"[C,E,G,C]4 | "AbM"[Ab,C,Eb,Ab]4 | "Fm"[F,Ab,C,F]4 | "Cm"[C,Eb,G,C]4 |
- To go from Cm to CM, perform the following sequence using the flat7:
Cm, BbM, FM, CM.
X:1
T:Cm to CM via flat7
M:4/4
L:1/4
K:C
"Cm"[C,Eb,G,C]4 | "BbM"[B,,D,F,Bb]4 | "FM"[F,A,C,F]4 | "CM"[C,E,G,C]4 |
- Generally, use the flat6 or flat7 chord for modulation!
- Alternative modulation from Cm to CM using flat6 (Ab):
X:1
T:Cm to CM via flat6
M:4/4
L:1/4
K:C
"Cm"[C,Eb,G]4 | "Ab"[Ab,C,Eb]4 | "G"[G,B,D]4 | "C"[C,E,G]4 |
