Theory Bites 5 - Just a little nibble!
If been following the series, then you know that we have just gone through the five chord in the key of G.
It is now Chord 6 in the key. We know it as a few things, and you may have run across these terms.
“The 6 chord”
“The relative minor”
“The 6 minor, or 6m” if youre into the Nashville numbering system.
“vi”
They all stand for the same thing. In our Exploration of the key of G, its one chord.
E minor or Em. It is made of the notes E G B. Thats all you need to do to memorize the Chord, and label it as the 6 chord in G.
So in the key now: G Am Bm C D and now Em
In Nashville its “1 2m 3m 4 5 6m in the key of G”
In Roman Numbers its “I, ii, iii, IV, V and vi in G”
You should have easily memorized all the notes that make up these chords and be drilling on them, if youve applied yourself to this series by now, right?
If so, the key of G is yours for life, (just about!)
Thats going to be a common key, if not the most common one you as a guitar player are likely to face. And at least in ONE key you'll hold a lot of knowledge, and be pretty strongly able to follow theory in that key! So why not be a beast in knowing it, right?
Till next time, we are almost done!
