Pretty good explanation, F - that is one of the simplest concepts in music when you understand it, yet the most difficult to explain - you did a nice job
When playing any scale, root notes are what determine the scales key, even if they do have exactly the same notes, if you start at a different point in the sequence with a different root note, you will end up with a different sounding scale, but that is hard to hear because you are using the same selection of notes. The only way to really understand this is to compare like with like. In your example, you want to understand the difference between a minor and a major scale, so compare C major with C minor. or A major with A minor - only when the root notes are the same can you really hear the differences at first. Later on, you learn to assume the root note in your head, but that comes with practice and experience. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
