ii Dm; vii o Bdim; In a minor key triads i and iv are minor chords, but in chord V the leading-tone is generally raised to form a major chord. [2] For example, in A minor the primary triads are Am, Dm and E. Chord v (minor) in a minor key might be expected to be a primary triad, but its use is rare in common practice harmony.
The musical theory of chords is reviewed, to provide terminology for a discussion of guitar chords. Three kinds of chords, which are emphasized in introductions to guitar-playing, [10] [d] are discussed. These basic chords arise in chord-triples that are conventional in Western music, triples that are called three-chord progressions.
A typical sequence of a jazz or rock song in the key of C major might indicate a chord progression such as C – Am – Dm – G 7. This chord progression instructs the performer to play, in sequence, a C major triad, an A minor chord, a D minor chord, and a G dominant seventh chord.
Other chord qualities such as major sevenths, suspended chords, and dominant sevenths use familiar symbols: 4 Δ 7 5 sus 5 7 1 would stand for F Δ 7 G sus G 7 C in the key of C, or E ♭ Δ 7 F sus F 7 B ♭ in the key of B ♭.

The key note, or tonic, of a piece of music is called note number one, the first step of (here), the ascending scale iii–IV–V. Chords built on several scale degrees are numbered likewise. Thus the chord progression E minor–F–G can be described as three–four–five, (or iii–IV–V). A chord may be built upon any note of a musical scale.
