# B minor Guitar Chord

> The B minor minor chord, composed of the root (B minor), minor third D, and perfect fifth F♯, evokes a melancholic or introspective emotion. The lowered third D gives it a somber, contemplative quality, contrasting with the major chord’s brightness, and is often used to express depth and emotional complexity. With D in the bass, this voicing functions as the 1st inversion of B minor.
