- DESCRIPTION
Common chord patterns aren’t just for Major keys. You can use them in minor keys as well. Like this one! It’s called a i-VII-VI-V (one-seven-six-five) pattern. The i (one) chord is lowercase because it’s a minor chord. The VII, VI, and V (seven, six, and five) chords are uppercase because they’re all Major chords.
I’m sure this pattern will sound a little familiar to you. It’s really common in Spanish and Flamenco music.
