Knowing what chord to play next? It would help if you posted ,say, the melody line of this track, as a clear example of what you're having trouble with. |

Ambidextrous instruments Matthew, thanks for your input. I don't believe any of those activities use fingers, only full hands. Just a thought, as maybe the term 'handed' is actually too vague. |

Ambidextrous instruments I've often considered the guitar (which I've taught for many decades), as actually being better designed for lefties.Apart from finger picking or classical playing, the left hand fingers do most of the work. Right hand is more right arm when strumming.In fact, I think it's more versatile being played on one's lap, but still left-handed. Of course, most guitarists will disagree, as they've already learned the orthodox way. Food for thought? |

Ambidextrous instruments "Percussion instruments don't really count" - I've had the same problem with some drummers.......... |

Ambidextrous instruments Apparently, some rich guy - muso - had a piano made that WAS left-handed, as in high notes on left. It may be an apochryphal story. |

Comfortable notes in a key It WAS included in your answer ! That's why it re-appeared , not as iv6 - V, but ending on III(maj.) Yes, it's out of this question's remit. |

Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? I used songs, as in my original statement. Common means most numerous - even 25% doesn't come close, sorry.Often is similar. What about the chords in a key ? |

Comfortable notes in a key The next most common cadence is the plagal, moving IV-I,but it's probably called something different in U.S. |

Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? Just out of interest, I looked at 100 random songs. 8 of them started as you indicated. 8% is hardly 'often'. Most of the others started on the tonic chord, or had less than a full bar start on the dominant, going straight to tonic in the first full bar.Please explain you comments; I don't understand. |

Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? Luke, when a piece 'starts on the dominant', it's often the anacrucis. The first full bar is usually in the tonic. Chords in C maj: C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bm7b5....Tonic is C. Chords in Amin: Am, Bm7b5, C, Dm, Em OR E, F, G...Tonic is Am. So where's the difference, apart from E/Em ? 'Twas always thus in a diatonic world. |
