G minor has two flats and a long history in classical music, from Mozart's symphonies to Bach's fugues, and it turns up today in reggaeton, Latin pop and soundtrack work. Its chords are Gm, A°, B♭, Cm, Dm, E♭ and F, with a major D and its F♯ as the dominant. The relative major is B♭ major, the parallel major G major. It sits low and warm on the guitar and in the middle of a baritone's range.
