Notes: [1] Dim chords are less commonly used than any other. [2] Very often variations of the chords show are used. For example the V is very often played as a 7th (G7 when playing in C). Sometimes the II is played as a major followed by a V to "bring it home" (D followed by G when playing in C). | ||||||||||
