the relative question of the day

*major or minor?

Minor

Why can't I have both?!

i guess so but waht do you tend to use more?

Suspended!!!!

Scales or chords?

uhh keys.

I use Minor more. But if i'm using an Em scale I like to mix it up and through in a G sharp or a C sharp.

minor

Lately it's Major. Been playing around with Major7 progressions.

Arent all keys major?

Good question. I really did not get the "keys" part?

Minor keys aren't major. Minor keys are minor.

I more often than not use Minor-esque keys.

However, I more often than not, use major chords :)

so you cant say this song is in the key of B minor?

I was thinking of key signatures. The Major key signature is the same as it's relative minor. C & Am = no sharps or flats.

iwas just talking about keys in ggeneral.and yes the relative minor of a major scale is the 6th,in cmaj it would be amin.your right mosh

Good question.....i would have to say minor high e thru d than major to low e

good description notim

When you say a song is in the key of B minor its actaully in D. Just starting on the 6th. But then could you start on the 2nd of a key for example the key of D and say your playing in the key of E minor? Or is saying your playing in the key of E minor mean automatically that your in the key of G?

but its still b minor.

Yes but all your chords are the exact same as if you were in D. But i just asked a friend and he said you can call a key the key of E dorian if your starting on the 2nd of the koey of D.

i dont know about using modal names as a key,ijust thought they were major or minor

ionian-maj
dorian-min
phyrgian-min
lydian-maj
mixolydian-maj
aeolian-min
locrian- diminished

That's why I say scales or chords. The method you guys are talking about only works if you are using diatonic scales/modes. I have played plenty of songs where the progression goes outside the diatonics.
I don't think there is a KEY of E Dorian. That would be for scales/modes. The key is the signature of the song. To say a song is in the key of E Dorian is saying Dorian is the only mode I can use for this song??

i a song was in e dorian it would be
emin .

But are you playing it over a song in the key of E or D? The mode does not determine the key.

ahh good point mosh.so basically a key is either maj or min not a modal name dorian etc so if it was i cmaj you could use any of the seven modes in cmaj to solo ove rthe progreesion in cmaj.

you can play a minor key lead over a major scale , I will leave my self open

what about a diminished key?

damnit null,that i dont now the answer to .

dim7, a minor harmonic on the 12 fret harmonic e ,a g 1/4 bend into a half bend on the g

sorry i think i exploded

i dont get it.notim.your fishy.

Sorry about that allways have been whats fishy

ahhhh a 12th fret harmonic bend??? Magic powers!!

^^Bend behind the nut??
This is what I don't understand

I can understand a minor scale over a major chord or key!!

I can send you a recording of one of my harmonic bend

Natural or pinch?
