    Minor third

    Dreams

    Fleetwood Mac

    The melody starts with Now-Here (A-C), which is a minor third. The dreamy melody continues this way. Can you find the other minor thirds?

    Seven Nation Army

    The White Stripes

    This song contains many minor thirds. Just listen to the famous bass line. After the second note, it goes up and then back down (E-G-E). This is an ascending and descending minor third.

    Anti-Hero

    Taylor Swift

    Do you love a bit of soft pop? Then Taylor Swift is your go-to girl. This song starts with a minor third at I Have - This thing, and you'll hear it again at Midnights - Become.

    Talkin' About A Revolution

    Tracy Chapman

    Tracy starts with singing Don't you - Know, and this repeats a lot of times.

    Smoke on the water

    Deep Purple

    Another great song with the minor third interval is Smoke on the Water. In the first two notes of the rif you hear a clear minor third. This continues throughout the song.

    Greensleeves

    Greensleeves is a traditional song that starts with a minor third. Just listen to the first two notes after the intro. Do you find it difficult that this song is instrumental? Then listen to the version with lyrics. Here you can hear the minor third on "Alas" and "I Have".

    Song of Storms

    Koji Kondo

    This is a beautiful song from the game Zelda. The first to notes (D-F) form a minor third. If you listen closely, you can identify all the minor thirds. Now you can learn music theory while you're gaming.

    Georgia On My Mind

    Ray Charles

    This is, for me, the most beautiful Ray Charles song. The first Georgia forms a minor third. Sit back and enjoy the music.

    A Day In The Life

    The Beatles

    Every playlist must have a Beatles song! A day In the life starts with I-Read, a minor third.

    Part of our ultimate ear training songlist hub—all interval playlists in one place.

    Hello music lovers

    We have made a new Spotify playlist for you! This time we take a closer look at the minor third interval.

    Do you remember the major third interval? The minor third is its little brother. To identify this interval you should count three naturals (C-D-E), but you should listen for three semitones (C-D-Eb).

    We did our best to make a great selection of songs with the minor third interval. There are some oldies, some modern songs and even songs from games like Zelda! We hope you enjoy our playlist. Do you want to know how you can identify the interval? Keep reading, because we will explain it in just a minute.

    Turn this into practice — try the major third interval in a quick Sonid exercise.
