What are the piano chords for Aflat Eflat Dflat? And how do you make a major chord a minor?

Answer 1

The basic chord has three tones: The first, or tonic, the third and the fifth. An A flat MAJOR chord contains the tonic, A flat, the major third, C, and the perfect fifth, E flat.
E flat major is similarly: E flat, G and B flat
D flat major is similarly: D flat, F and A flat

A basic minor chord is created by flatting the third of a major chord: hence an A flat minor chord has A flat, G flat and B flat

Answer 2

The name of the chord will always be the same as the first or bass note in the chord. Your typical major chords are Triads, meaning they are made up of three notes, and will aways follow this format: bass note, four half steps (piano keys, counting white and black) up, and then three. Therefore, Ab will always be spelled Ab C Eb. To minor it, take what is known as the third, which in this case is C, and lower it a half step - one key. Then it is spelled Ab B Eb.

Answer 3

To make a major chord minor, lower the third by a semitone, or to the nearest black or white not to the major third.

A flat C E flat, for example, you would lower the C to a D flat.

Answer 4

Abm = Ab Cb Bb
Ebm = Eb Abb (G) C
Dbm = Db Fb (E) Ab

Just lower the third by a half step
