F Sharp Minor (also written Gbm)
F#m is made of 3 notes: F#, A and C#. Here it is in root position, with F# at the bottom.
Inside Notley Piano: all the inversions of F#m, fingering for both hands, a play button, and practice that helps you remember it.
| Note | Degree | Interval from F# |
|---|---|---|
| F# | 1 | root |
| A | b3 | minor 3rd |
| C# | 5 | perfect 5th |
A minor chord sounds darker and more serious than major. The only difference from major is the 3rd, which drops by one fret (a half step).
