You'll have to rephrase your question. There are no major keys in a chord. A chord is three or more notes sounded simultaneously. A major key is the set of notes in a major scale. There are chords within keys, there are no keys within chords.

In a major scale there are three minor triads. In every major scale the ii chord, iii chord, and vi chord are always minor.

There is only one diminished triad in a major scale. It is known as the "minor flatted fifth" and occurs only on the seventh scale degree. This triad creates a dissonant (unstable) sound.

What are principal chords?

Mey Sovannara Principal chords are main chords built from each scale and they can be used and played in replacement of other chords that are built from a scale. There are three principal chords in each scale. In the major keys, the three are tonic major chord, Subdominant major chord and dominant seventh chords. In the minor keys, the three are tonic minor chord, Subdominant minor chord and dominant seventh chords. To avoid using too many chords and chords that are not pleasant to your ears, you can use these three principal chords to replace other chords in a scale.

What is the resolution of an IV7 chord?

Because the subdominant seventh chord in any key introduces the flattened mediant in the original key, this new flat note becomes the subdominant note in the new key. One logical progression is: C F7 Bâ™­ It stands to reason that this remains consistent through each of the twelve major keys - though the treatment of major chords in minor keys is different.

How do you transpose from major to minor keys in music?

You cannot transpose from a major key to a minor key. You can change the key of a piece, but transposition must be either major or minor. Actually you can transpose from major to minor but it won't always sound right. First write down the chord functions for each chord in the major key (eg. I ii iii IV V VI viio). Then write down the interval of each melody note (eg. C over a G chord is a perfect fifth). Then for the minor key write out the chords using the chord functions as your guide. So if C was in major key, acting as I chord, in the key of Am you would have an Am chord. In minor keys we use a mixture of natural minor, harmonic and melodic minor which affects which chords you will use in your minor key. For example, in the key of Am the V chord might be E major (not E minor) using the G# from the melodic minor scale (or harmonic minor scale). It has a stronger resolution. For the melody use minor intervals instead of major intervals - so use minor 3rd instead of major 3rd, minor 6ths and 7ths. So if you had an E melody over C chord in major key you would have C melody note over Am chord. This doesn't always work but can get you started.
