hey,i was at a jam recently and a guitar player said the next song is in C Minor, does that mean CMinor,Fminor,GMinor as a pretty safe chord progression?BTP

Sometimes also G7 is used in Cm songs, usually just before the Cm chord.

You can't apply a blanket theoretical rule. You have to go by how it sounds. It's about context.
Many, many, many minor tunes have a strong VII chord as the second most important chord (Bb in Cm). Many minor tunes, as mentioned use a V7 (G7 in Cm); but some use the minor. Some tunes use it's relative major which would be Eb in Cm. Some tunes go to a IV major, and V7.
It's all about context (including style) of the notes you are playing.

depends on what type of minor.
some possibilities:
Cm Fm Gm
Cm Fm G7
Cm Bb Ab
Cm Bb G7
Ddim G7 Cm
or a modal-ey minor that doesn't have distinct chord changes

Dean, I have to disagree with the minor portion of your chart on two points: 1. depending on the type of minor, you're much more likely to have a strong V or V7 chord resolving to i at the final cadences. 2. The standard convention is to use lower case Roman numerals for minor and diminished chords thus: Major Key: I ii iii IV V (V7) vi vii Minor Key i, ii, III, iv, v (or V/V7) VI VII ( in many modal tunes VII to i is a much more satisfying cadence than v to i) I'll never play like Earl Scruggs or sing like Luciano Pavarotti, but I'll pick better than Luciano and sing tenor better than Earl deligo ergo renideo, Bob Cameron

Bob,
I just picked that up somewhere in my past surfing and kept it. I couldn't even tell you where it came from. I've never used or messed with minor keys, but have used that chart a lot for major keys, mostly from my blues playing days. Even your explination is WAY over my head but I thought that chart would somehow apply to this thread.

I don't understand the chart either. The V (or V7)is usually a major chord.
