What is the relationship between the chords I, bVII, bVI, and V in a major key progression?
The chords I, bVII, bVI, and V in a major key progression create a sense of tension and resolution. The bVII and bVI chords add color and interest, while the V chord provides a strong resolution back to the I chord.
What is the relationship between the chords BVI, BVII, and I in a major key?
The chords BVI, BVII, and I in a major key are related as the submediant, subtonic, and tonic chords respectively. They create a sense of resolution and stability in the key, with the submediant and subtonic chords leading to the tonic chord.
What is the proper fingering for playing the bvii chord on the guitar?
The proper fingering for playing the bvii chord on the guitar is to use your index finger on the 7th fret of the low E string, your ring finger on the 9th fret of the A string, your pinky on the 9th fret of the D string, and your middle finger on the 8th fret of the G string.

Why do you use three different versions of the minor scale?
The harmonic minor is used simply for the i-iv-v-i progression Cm - Fm - Gm (7)- Cm The G minor chord is technically a part of the C minor scale. However, the chord does not give the feeling of returning back to the tonic (which is C minor). Now if you play this new progression, you can feel the return to the tonic Cm - Fm - G(7)- Cm This raises the 7th of the scale to B natural, thus making the V chord major, giving us a stronger sense of resolution than the Vm-Im progression does. The melodic minor scale raises both the sixth and seventh degrees of the scale on the way up, creating a stronger pull to the tonic, but lowers them back on the way down, making the descending melody that of the Natural minor scale. This gives you the advantage of several alternate chords in the minor - a major IV and V chord (instead of minor ones) and a IIm chord (instead of a diminished). Using 4 part chords gives you even more alternate chords (ImMaj7, bVII Maj7, etc.) It also makes a smoother transition when modulating to the Tonic-Major key.
What does 1 4 and 5 chords mean?
When musicians use Roman Numerals for chords (like I, IV and V) that reffers to the scale step that the chord's root is built upon. The scale has seven notes that can be sung in solfege - "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do". Those same notes can also be thought of as scale steps "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1". So, when we replace these numbers with Roman Numerals, they represent the triads built on those scale steps: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, I. If you want to be even more exact, you can show the tonality of the chords like: I, IIm, IIIm, IV, V, VIm, VII°, I for the Major scale and Im, II°, bIII, IVm, V, bVI, bVII, I for the Minor scale. Most popular music uses the three primary triads more than any of the others and those turn out to be the I, IV and V chords. In C Major that means the I chord is C, the IV chord is F and the V chord is G. In E Minor the I chord is Em, the IV chord is Am and the V chord is Bm or B (depending on which version of the minor scale you are using). So, when someone says "this is a I, IV, V tune" that means the piece will only use those three chords (and that it is probably based or loosly based on a blues form).
What scales go with which chords?
The chords E, Bm, A, and D are associated with the A major scale, and the key of A major. The primary A major chords are (with notes of the chords): I - A Major (A-C#-E) ii - B minor (B-D-F#) iii - C# minor (C#-E-G#) IV - D Major (D-F#-A) V - E Major (E-G#-B) vi - F# minor (F#-A-C#) vii° - G# diminished (G#-B-D) Octave - A Major (A-C#-E) To add one degree of complexity, the F# natural minor scale also uses the same chords, but they are labeled differently. i - F# minor (F#-A-C#) ii° - G# diminished (G#-B-D) bIII - A Major (A-C#-E) iv - B minor (B-D-F#) v - C# minor (C#-E-G#) bVI - D Major (D-F#-A) bVII - E Major (E-G#-B) Octave - F# minor (F#-A-C#)
