Notes about Chord-Scale relationships:
  • There are no rules associated with these suggested relationships. Use them as a guide but do not regard them as definitive. Your ear is ultimately the best judge.

  • Chords are often listed according to their Roman Numeral. Roman numerals relate to how a specific chord is used in a progression relative to the key of the tune. In the key of C, the III min7 chord is Emin7.
