Minor Chords Are Major Players
Generally speaking, minor triads or three note chords sound sadder than major triads. In a sense, these two families of triads play off one another in helping to alter moods of any given composition that they are involved in. If you are playing a moody piece written by a non-medicated, bipolar composer, your accompanying chords will probably change from major to minor every second! Not to worry though. There probably aren't too many of these types of compositions around.
