Okay songs in the key of E (1 chord), Song goes to A (4 chord), What is the G chord ?

2.5 chord haha

The 2 chord is F#
The 3 chord is G#

How is the G chord written in a chart in the key of E is my question. Thanks....

Because your song is in E 2 would be F# minor and the 3 chord would be G# minor

The 2 chord would be shown as 2m-F# 3 chord would be shown as 3m--G# G chord would be shown as 3M
Wait that's not right for the G or it would be assumed to be G#.
I have to think about this one, haven't run into a natural G before in an E scale for the numbering system.

Just called a music friend of mine.
I 1 chord is E

bIII (flatted 3 chord) is a Gmajor

biii would be a flatted 3 minor.

Anyway, I'll write it as a bIII for the G chord in the key of E and move on with my charts.

Ok the G would be 3B so you would move down a half step from G# to G

Oh me and my big mouth just got the luxury of charting the songs for a show coming up. I may chart a song once in awhile but its not something I do very often.Anyway thanks...

3b ( I kinda like that better than bIII)

It's a flat-three (b3) chord. Then you have to state whether it's major, minor, or dominant, i.e.,

b3M
b3m
b37 (in this last case the 7 would be a superscript)
