Why do composers often like to have the 5th chord in the minor scale major?
Q. Why is the 5th chord in the minor scale raised to a major chord? For example, in this song in F# minor, the V (or V7) chord is always C#7 instead of C#m. Composers everywhere do this. What is up with this V chord always being made major? What's wrong with F#m, Bm, and C#m? Why do we want F#m, Bm, C#7? Why is the V chord so special in the minor scale?

A. The middle note of the triad built on the 5th scale degree of any key is the leading note of that key. (The 7th note in the scale.) When this chord is made major, that middle note is raised by a semitone, meaning that there is now a semitone between the leading note and the tonic, rather than a whole tone. This means that the leading note has more of a tendency to "pull" toward the tonic that it would if there was a whole tone between them.

Asked by panic.paint_it_black - Mon Jun 15 17:14:21 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Are you asking how the 1st, 3rd and 5th of a chord are determined? (they are the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of that particular scale) If you know what 3 notes are in the chord, it doesn't matter which order they are played in. So a 1-3-5 is the same chord as a 3-1-5 or a 5-3-1, etc. These would be called different "inversions" of the chord. I'll give you an example. You know that a major chord has three notes: the 1st, 3rd, and 5th. Yet a guitar has 6 strings. So when you are fingering a chord and strumming all 6 strings, some of the notes are being repeated in a different octave. If you look at a G chord, the notes are G(1st) B(3rd) and D(5th) Look at how they appear as you finger them from your low to high strings: G-B-D-G-B-G (1-3-5- [cont.]

A. Mkay, here's the deal: A power chord is a three-note chord consisting of a root note, a perfect fifth, and an octave (an eighth). Any chord is named after its root note. The fifth is seven half-steps above the root, so you fret it two frets up on the next string. The octave is five frets of above the fifth, so it's played at the same fret on the next string. In, say, an A5, the notes played are A E and A. In a B5, one whole step up, it's B F# and B, but it's fretted the same, you should move your hand. So on an A, you know to fret the fifth fret on the E string and the seventh fret on the D string because, well, thoses are the As. You fret the seventh fret on the A string to get the fifth, because otherwise it isn't a power chord. … [cont.]

A. I would call this a Dm7/C. Note that, by using your pinkie, that means you took it *off* of its normal position in the 5-string barre Dm chord, thus turning your Dm into a Dm7. Interestingly, the note you reveal, the 7, is in fact also a C, just like the bass note you added. So technically, the chord is just a Dm7. But you probably wanted that bass note very explicitly, and the C would normally be an unlikely candidate to be the bass note.

A. I think that it's just a preference of sound, I myself strum all six strings sometimes, but just the top five others. I think it depends on what sound you are trying to achieve. With the low E string the sound sounds a little heavier, so to lighten it up people just leave it out because they already have their E.

A. Play an open position A minor (the common one everybody knows) but don't use your index finger when forming the chord. Then slide the chord up two frets and lay your index finger across 5 strings (not the low E string) on the 2nd fret. Or play an open position E minor chord and don't use your index finger. Slide the chord up 7 frets and lay your index finger across all 6 strings on the 7th fret. It's pretty tough until you practice this a lot. It takes time build enough strength in the index finger to do this. Also the "action" on your guitar matters a lot. The closer the strings are to the fingerboard the easier it will be. It will be easiest on an properly adjusted electric guitar with very light gauge strings on it. Good luck!
