A Minor
Am is made of 3 notes: A, C and E. Here it is in root position, with A at the bottom.
Inside Notley Piano: all the inversions of Am, fingering for both hands, a play button, and practice that helps you remember it.
| Note | Degree | Interval from A |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | root |
| C | b3 | minor 3rd |
| E | 5 | perfect 5th |
A minor chord sounds darker and more serious than major. The only difference from major is the 3rd, which drops by one fret (a half step).
