A# minor chord = A# minor scale + 1, 3, 5 spelling, instead of A# minor chord = A# major scale + minor chord spelling (1, b3, 5)Ĭhords in The C# Major Scale C sharp major chord scaleĪbove, are all of the chords in the C# major scale. Instead of building from the major scale, you now use the minor instead. Minor spelling is now 1, 3, 5 instead of 1, b3, 5. You can also use all of these spellings in an easier way, using a “3”, instead of a “b3”, in the minor and diminished spellings, as long as you are using the major scale to build your major chords, and the minor to build your minor and diminished chords. C# major = C# major scale + major chord spelling. A# minor = A# major scale + minor chord spelling. So the 1, is the 1st note in the scale, the b3 is the 3rd note of the scale, moved a semi-tone down, and the 5 is the 5th note in the scale.Įvery-time you spell a chord you want you use the major scale, of the key it's in. If you want to build the A# minor, you would choose the A# major scale, then use the minor spelling (1, b3, 5).
