Minor Chords
Minor chords are made up of 3 notes that correspond to degrees:
Root - Minor Third - Perfect Fifth (R – b3 – 5)
They are represented by the letter of the "name" that corresponds to the chord followed by a lowercase letter "m", for example C minor is represented as Cm.
* Sometimes they are represented as the name followed by the word «min»(Cmin) or the minus sign «–»(C-).
