    @the-old-coach , Believe me you aren’t the only one that gets stumped on the Major and Minor scale. The model formula of Major uses the Key of C which is CDEFGABC The model formula for minor uses the Key of A – ABCDEFGA.

    Go back to Day 1 ‘Learn the Chord Matrix’. Scroll down and look at the ‘Key Points’. minor key uses m, dim, M, m, m, M, M. Now go back and look at Friday Challenge (Minor Chords in the Key of Dm) and see how it works. Even thou it’s a minor key all the chords are Major because it’s following the universal rule of minor key which is m dim M m m M M.

    Don’t feel bad I had to take a break myself. I was started to confuse myself. Take notes, stop and try to compare to the daily challenges and it will eventually make sense. Actually I don’t even know if I answered your question?? All I know is in my 68 years of life, this is something I have never had to think about. So it’s hard and confusing. You’ll get there. Hopefully someone else can do better than I. 😉
