This page contains a table of common chords found in major and minor keys for guitar. It includes both diatonic chords (I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii°) in the major scale and their corresponding minor keys. These chords are essential for building songs and understanding music theory on the guitar.
Major Key Chords: In each major key, you have seven chords that come from the notes of the scale. These include the major chords (I, IV, V), minor chords (ii, iii, vi), and a diminished chord (vii°). These chords form the basic foundation for songs in the major key.
Minor Key Chords: Similarly, in the minor key, you also have seven chords, but these are derived from the minor scale. The minor scale has a natural minor chord (i), a diminished ii chord (ii°), major chords (III, VI, VII), and minor chords (iv, v). The chord progressions in minor keys often sound darker or more emotional.
