Thanks Robin for the link. But now I have an even more interesting question. I just found out that A minor pentatonic and C major pentatonic have the same notes, of course with different root. So how do you decide whether some piece is in C major pentatonic or A minor pentatonic. To put the same question in a different manner, how is playing In A minor pentatonic different from playing in C major pentatonic.
Hey there,
Deciding which key a peice is in is where the chord progression wants to
resolve to.
By
resolve we mean 'end up', or where the listener hears the tonal center.
So whether a peice is in 'A minor' Or 'C major' is down to whether the chord progression resolves to Am, or Am7 etc, or C major, C major7 etc.
So if you had a progression:
Dm7- Am7-G7-
CmajThat would be in the key Of C major.
If you had the progression:
Em7-Cmaj7-Fmaj7-
Am7That would be in the key of A minor.
Its all
where it ends up at, or where your ear hears it to be based around.
I hope that makes sense.
