Hey guys, today I am going to show a beautiful chord progression played with a borrowed chord. We can borrow chords from other keys in order to make a simple chord progression more interesting.

A borrowed chord could be any chord that we take from another key or scale and we use it to create tensions or different colors. Think about a chord progression such as C | C7 | F. In this example we use the C7 as a borrowed chord to change the C major from a Tonic to Dominant chord.

The chord progression we are checking out today is G | B7 | Em D | Cmaj7. If you know a little bit about music theory you probably know that in G major key the B chord is minor and not dominant 7th. We are borrowing the B7 from the E Harmonic minor key, which is the relative Harmonic minor scale of G major.

Now, you can totally forget about music theory and just learn the beautiful chord progression hehe. I will tell you more about this borrowed chord in the video lesson.

Good luck.
