Minor chords are similar to major chords with one main difference in that the middle note of a minor chord in the root position is one half step lower than the middle note of a major chord in that root position.

The formula for minor chord is: 1 – b3 – 5.

1 – Root Chord
3 – Minor Third (has three half steps above the root note)
5 – Perfect Fifth (has seven half steps above the root note)
