| May 21, 2023 at 18:06 | comment | added | Aaron | @Robert Yes, E phrygian could also work, again depending on context. The "minor" sound won't conflict, because the C chord will still be present, anchoring the harmony. The E scale, then, just becomes a variation of the overall color or the music. Of more concern that the minor sound would the that, if just playing the E scale, a B will fall on the beat. That could conflict, because it would temporarily create a CM7 chord. In jazz that would be fine, but in rock it might be out of place. | |
| May 21, 2023 at 17:35 | comment | added | user90561 | Thank you Aaron for your help.....so it would be Ok to run a minor scale (in your example E natural or harmonic minor (or possibly E Phrygian?)) over a Major chord? I was thinking that the minor sound would clash with the C major sound. I guess that's why I thought to avoid running an A natural minor over a C major chord also. I do understand the concern over starting with an F (half step dissonance with the E). | |
