Best Answer

A C-minor chord is played with C, E-flat, G. You can use the 5th, 3rd, and 1st fingers of the left hand for this.

Note the spacing between the keys played. There are two keys between C and E-flat, and three keys between E-flat and G. This same spacing is used for all minor chords. So, for example, B minor would be B, D, F-sharp. Now you can figure out any of the twelve minor chords.

You can also play the notes of the chord in other places. For example, the C and G with the left hand, and an octave higher E-flat and G with the right hand. There are many other possibilities, but they all have the same notes, and they are all considered C-minor.

How do you play g minor on recorder?

You can't play G minor or any other chord on a recorder because to play a chord, you have to be able to sound at least 3 notes at the same time - and you can only play one note at a time on a recorder. BUT, you CAN play the three notes that make up G minor one at a time which are G, B flat, and D. This effectively creates the same feel as playing a G minor chord.
