Minor plagal cadence — E minor to B minor New

Level 4 rock

The minor equivalent of the plagal cadence (iv to i): Em to Bm, less tense than a dominant-driven resolution, and a chance to practice the Bm barre chord in a cadential context rather than in isolation.

Tips

The move from Em (open) to Bm (barre) completely changes hand position: slow the change down as much as needed before aiming for real tempo.
