Okey, here comes a tip i got from my mother She have been studying music on university. And when I asked here that question she said. The scale is often the chord that the song ends with. (not always) Hope this will help. Also, 99% of the time - the key is the first chord of the song. But sometimes there are exceptions. QUOTE ([email protected] @ Dec 12 2006, 05:37 PM) Your question is very broad with a number of intrepetations but this little info might help: If you want your riff to be strictly in the key of E play notes that are in the key of E there are 7 of them: E - F# - G#- A - B - C# - D# Try your riff over any chords in that key there are 7 of them: E , F#min, G#min, A, B ,Cm, D# dim the first, fourth, fifth, second and sixth chord of a key sound good in some traditional orders such as 1 - 4 - 5 rock and roll basic 2- 5- 1 another rock basic This should be right... it helps you on your journey I know those standard progressions for major keys(Like I IV V for rock) , but can you also provide some standard progressions for minor keys. I play mainly maor key songs and want to experiment with writing minor key songs(For a darker sound) but don't know much about the minor keys - if you could provide some general rules for minors as well I would be gratefull -------------------- "Three Chords & The Truth . . ."
