May 21	comment	Comfortable notes in a key Plagal cadence = IV -I. Amen.
May 21	comment	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.

May 20	comment	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 ?
May 20	comment	Comfortable notes in a key Phrygian cadence - final chord IIImaj., as in tune in Cmaj., finishing on E G# B - nice !!!
May 20	comment	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.
May 20	comment	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.
May 20	comment	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.

May 19	comment	Comfortable notes in a key In Britain cadence V-I is called the perfect cadence, opposite to the imperfect cadence -which 'unresolves' I-V.
May 18	comment	Why does a piano have only one or two strings per note in the bass register, but three for other registers? I should have put "The fatter bass strings INDIRECTLY move a lot more air" etc. Thanks.
May 18	comment	Diminished Intervals I'm guilty as well ! Think we should be writing ## as x
May 18	answered	Learn music professionally, not classical and not jazz?
May 18	comment	Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? Dr Mayhem, true enough. Most songs do stay in the same key,and in one that does change rather than modulate, the change is often a dramatic move with an 'odd sounding' chord to signal this. Not certain if moving between relatives contitutes a key change - possibly just a modulation ?

May 17	comment	Why shouldn't I put electric guitar strings on my acoustic guitar? Are you stating that an 011 acoustic string will be better than a 011 electric string for top string on an acoustic guitar ? How will it be better ?
