How To Memorize Every Major & Minor Chord On Piano
As a reminder – The outside 5th is the same for both Major & Minor
Major Middle note (Major 3rd) is 2 Whole Steps From the Root
Minor Middle note (Minor 3rd) is 1 1/2 whole steps from the Root
We need to memorize our fundamental chords we use all the time so we can find them without hesitation. It may take some practice and time but it’s worth it! Make sure to practice these on their own so you don’t trip up over finding these positions when you’re learning actual music.
