paul_5 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) same thing.... D major is the relative major of B minor - they've both got F# and C# in their key signature. But of course, you knew that already. Carry on. The F# major is a quirky way of making chord V (F# in B minor) a major chord (instead of the minor chord) to strengthen the V-I pull (cadence). It's used a lot in minor key songs. Edited November 12, 2012 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
