[clairvoyant]

G major i'd say

[Blue Moon]

the whole tihngs pretty much Gmajor.. theres a few different scale runs of what not... but its nothin mad..

[Pom-Bear]

Ahh

thx

This is going to help because ive been playing just a bit over a year and a half and im going to start learning Major scales so if i learn it in G it will help to learn and improvise over this song

ahh thx people

when i first looked at it i thought it was in E minor because it had all the patterns and notes of an E minor and started on an open E note but i noticed there was a F note in it and E minor(descending) doesnt have that

hmm well i just looked it up and G major and E minor(descending) have the same notes

Can E Minor (descending) be counted as just E minor? or is Harmonic Minor the main Minor scale

[WindowLedge]

when playing melodic minor you can play natural minor descending, but that's no rule and I rarely do.

E minor is the relative minor of G Major, aka the Aeolian mode.

[Pom-Bear]

so i know the Minor scale (descending) would it be right to say i kno The Minor Scale? or is that something different

[WindowLedge]

there are three main minor scales:
Natural (aeolian mode)
Harmonic (Aeolian #7)
Melodic (Aeolian #6, #7)
Melodic is the only one played differently descending; it is played as a natural minor descending. However, music has no rules and that's mainly a classical thing. I play it ascending and descending.

[TheTastyLettuce]

If you are a serious learner, please consult a music theory book, grade 2 should do for minor scales. What people say here would only confuse you.

isn't the first part a pentatonic?

[TheTastyLettuce]
