What is a minor chord on the keyboard and how do you play one?

A minor chord on the keyboard is a chord that consists of three notes: the root, the minor third, and the perfect fifth. The root is the lowest note of the chord, the minor third is the note three semitones above the root, and the perfect fifth is the note seven semitones above the root.

To play a minor chord on the keyboard, you can follow these steps:

1. Find the root note of the chord. This is the note that you want the chord to be based on.

2. Once you have found the root note, play the minor third above it. This is the black key directly above the white key of the root note.

3. Finally, play the perfect fifth above the root note. This is the white key three keys above the root note.

For example, to play an A minor chord, you would play the notes A, C, and E.

Minor chords are commonly used in sad or melancholic music. They can also be used to create a sense of suspense or mystery.
