a minor chord progression, uses minor keys, thats the black ones on you keyboard, a chord is 3 or more notes played at the same time, so just put them all together and make up your chord note progression.
something like that anyway:p |

yea, but mind this, a2+a3+a4 doesn't make a chord
so it has to be 3 different keys i.e. c3+e3+g4
I guess you meant that, but I just highlight the obvious. |

| K, an example of a major chord...I will use c because it is the easiest... play c3+E3+g3 that is a c maj ... now play c3+e flat3+g3, that is a c minor. A to make a major chord, you use the root (first note) the 3rd from the first note and the 5th from the first note. To make a minor chord, you do the same but move the 3rd down a semitone. Look at the example I just gave and you will see what I am talking about...like I said, chords in c are the easiest... |

yeah.. but you see major progessions work like.. I iim iiim IV V viim
so for example in the key of c major.. the chords used would be
Cmaj (first note in the scale), Dmin (second note of scale), Emin, Fmaj, Gmaj, Amin..
i know how to form minor chords, but i dont get the progressions!

I don't know any chords or any names for them.. I just use my ears and find out what sounds right.. minor, is that the sad sound?
anyway.. hehe.. almost all of my tracks start with the same note.. it's because of my small keyboard.. :)
:whip: music theory.. learning by doing ;) |

Are you sure that's called a major progression? Because (you probably already know this) ii and iii are minor. No matter what, you have to start on I when writing a song (don't have to, but its a "rule"). From I you can go wherever you want... ii, iii, IV, V... it doesn't matter.
This would work: I ii iii vi ii V I.... would you consider that minor chord progression? |

Yeah, I didn't know there was minor progression... i thought it was all just "chord" progression. |

| k, when playing a major chord (ex: C+E+G, called a C Maj) to make it minor, lower the 3rd a semitone. (you get C+E flat+G, thats a C min) the same rule aplies to all major chords...just lower the 3rd a semitone and you will find the minor!! |
