Lots of Major ChordsĪn interesting thing about the chords borrowed from the parallel minor key is that they are frequently the major chords from the minor key. You will find several more examples in the suggested songs for this lesson. A great example is Hold On, I'm Comin' by Sam & Dave.
It creates tension and interest right from the start. You may notice the ♭III chord appears in the introductions to many songs. As a result, you will hear this sound in lots of blues-influenced styles like soul, R&B, rock, and funk. So, the ♭III chord often evokes a bluesy sound. In the key of C, E♭ and a B♭ would be a flat 3rd and flat 7th. An E♭ major chord (E♭ G B♭) played in the key of C will have an E♭ and a B♭ from outside of the key of C. The ♭III major triad contains two notes outside of the major key. The chord built on the third of C minor (E♭) is an E♭ major triad, or E♭maj7 chord. Remember, the borrowed chord comes from the parallel minor key of C minor (C D E♭ F G A♭ B♭).
In the key of C major, the ♭III chord would be E♭. Another common chord borrowed from the parallel minor key is the ♭III chord (“flat three chord”).
