Sometimes, especially in blues music, musicians will take chords which are normally minor chords and make them major. The most popular example is the I–VI–ii–V–I progression; normally, the vi chord would be a minor chord (or m 7, m 6, m ♭ 6 etc.) but here the major third makes it a secondary dominant leading to ii, i.e. V/ii.
