Welcome to another edition of “What Key Am I In?”

If you haven’t seen my past ones, click here to check out game #1, or here for game #2. (It’ll really help, especially if you feel lost below).

Since yesterday’s post was about minor keys, I want to keep it going by asking you, “What Minor Key Am I In?”

In my minor key, I have these chords:

Ab major 7

Answer:

F minor

Explanation:

Remember that F is the relative minor of Ab major and they share the same exact key signature, notes in their scale, and chords that correspond to their scale tones.

If you think in terms of the relative major keys, it’s a lot easier because you’ll probably be more familiar with them.

So basically, ask yourself “what major key has an Abmaj7, Bbmin7, and Dbmaj7?” There’s only one and it’s Ab major.

Then, from there, you just figure out the relative minor of Ab.

That gives you F minor!

Until next time!
