| Don't over complicate it. Basically, just read the chart vertically. It works well as a quick reference.

You cannot properly describe something as simple as diatonic harmony with three notes, let alone two.
| So true! Thanks for the clarification!

... the relative minor is Amin.
Or another way to remember it, A is the 6th degree in a C major scale.
It also works the other way around ... if you move from Eminor you go up 1½ tones or 3 semitones and you get your relative major. |
