Hi Ursula, Keep in mind that when you re-do the quizzes, the questions come up in a different order each time – so question #3 the first time will not be the same question the next time – the questions will be the same, but always in a different order each time.
Also, make sure your guitar is tuned properly. Use the hiE string also as @Loraine said. On the hi/lo E strings, 1st fret = F, 3rd fret = G, 5th = A, 7th = B, 8th = C, 10th = D. I also used the A string too on occasion. Make sure that the volume on your computer is up hi enough so that you can hear everything – some of the recordings aren’t the best sound quality.
As far as major vs. minor, in the materials section there is a major & minor scale pattern (that are moveable). Once you’ve settled on a key for a song, then play one of the scale patterns in that key – if the notes sound good with the song, then you’ve nailed it! For me, I memorized the major scale pattern and would play that in the key that I settled on – if it sounded slightly off, then I would choose that key in minor as my answer. If it sounded really off, then I knew I had chosen the wrong key altogether. For example, if I thought the song was in the key of A, then I would play the major scale pattern starting on the 5th fret of the low E string. If it sounded good with the song, then I was confident that I made the right choice.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
