![]() ![]() The chords already shown above all allow you to do this. ![]() The chord will usually sound more settled if the root remains as the bass note of the chord, so a root note higher than the bass is the better choice to alter. (*On smaller accordions with 8 and 12 bass buttons you can play some minor 7th chords but no minor chords. Take any chord, and lower one of the root notes downwards in pitch by two frets (a whole step) to locate the minor 7th. On a standard bass accordion with at least *24 bass buttons, minor chords are between major and dominant 7th chords, on the 4th column ( or on the 3rd column if your accordion doesn’t have the counter-bass column). The Stradella bass system allows you to play a minor chord by pushing just one button. This contrast between major and minor chords is an important aspect of music theory and is used by musicians to create a wide range of emotions and moods in their compositions. Compared to a major chord, which has a happy and bright sound, a minor chord sounds sad and serious. One of the defining characteristics of a minor chord is its minor 3rd interval, which gives the chord its distinctive sound. If we analyze the intervals of this trichord ( aka “triad”) we found that between C and Eb there’s a minor 3rd and between Eb and G there’s a major 3rd. They can also be built by combining a minor 3rd interval with a major 3rd interval.įor example, let’s take the first three notes of the C major scale: C, E, G ( root, 3rd, 5th), now subtract an half-step from the 3rd and you get a C minor (C, Eb, G). The formula for a minor chord is R, m3°, 5°. Minor chords are built by taking the root, the 3rd, and the 5th notes of the major scale and then lowering the 3rd by one half-step (a semitone).
