Eb Chord Progressions: Basic Triads

If you remember from previous entries, the Eb major scale consists of the Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C, and D notes. This scale will relate directly to the simple triads (that is, three-note chords made of the root, major/minor third, and diminished/perfect fifth notes) in the key of Eb major (please refer to this website or elsewhere for more information):

I. Eb major (made of the Eb, G, and Bb notes);
ii. F minor (F, Ab, and C notes);
iii. G minor (G, Bb, and D notes);
IV. Ab major (Ab, C, and Eb notes);
V. Bb major (Bb, D, and F notes);
vi. C minor (C, Eb, and G notes); and
vii(b5). D diminished (D, F, and Ab notes).
