Relative Minors and Majors Explained in full.
Relative Minors are the 6th (VI) note of a major scale – so one way of using them is if you want a song to sad sadder, rather than play in C major, play in A minor!
Have fun with this.

Can you take the relative minor of the relative minor?

For me it’s easier to see the relative minors with the circle of fifths, rather then counting it out in the major scale.

They don’t have the same notes. C major has no sharps and flats. C minor has 3 flats because its in the key of E major. To learn more do a search for minor scales on my website.

Thanks, it’s a great video and well explained. There’s just one thing I don’t get..
If I were to play a melody in C major, it would sound ‘happy’. If I were to play one in a minor, it would sound ’sad’. But if they both have the same notes, what determines whether it’s ‘happy’ or ’sad’?
Thanks very much!

Well-explained lesson, thanks! So, like you said in the video, the change from major to minor is used to get a darker/sadder sound and stay in the same key, right?
