Hello folks,
I know when you play a major scale and its relative minor they sound different, major sounds happy, minor sounds sad but I do think the happy/sad thing is more apparent with chords. What I don't understand is that when I'm improvising they can both sound happy or sad, to me anyway. Can someone explain please.

You'd need to emphasis one of the notes as the tonal centre or home. Maybe by lingering longer on it, or if you kept coming back to it more frequently, ending licks on it etc

I actually feel a bit dumb for asking now This post has been edited by Phil66: Nov 1 2018, 05:37 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I actually feel a bit dumb for asking now Not a dumb question at all. Changing the harmony (the chords or counterpoint) under a given melody is one of the age old ways composers and songwriters, for the last 1200 years, have been "making the same old thing" sound new again. There's only 12 notes (in western music), it's all about what you put with them. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Cheers Ken, one day I'd like to make my way to L.A and spend some time with you buddy. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
