Questions
What chords go with a E flat pad?
Every chord in E flat major: E flat, Fm, Gm, A flat, B flat, Cm. The pad has no third, so major and minor chords both sit on it.
Can I use the E flat pad for a minor song?
Use the pad of the song’s own key: a song in E flat minor takes this E flat pad, and a song in C minor (the relative minor) takes that key’s pad.
