@the-old-coach Duudddddde You toaaatallllyy Have this. The process is the same. It is just a different flavor. The chords same: big differences between Major and its relative Minor key is the order and the flavor. Where you start and where you end is what determines your flavor. Happy start, happy end, likely the Major key, sad start, sad end likely the relative minor key. Lets talk about relative keys vs parallel keys. Understanding this may help you with the key selection based on the single note method. Parallel keys and Relative keys. Relative keys have the same notes ordered differently Parallel key has the same start note but notes after that are different. C majors relative minor is Aminor. You could play the A note the whole way and it will sound good especially if the song starts with that A minor chord. You could also play the C note and it would sound good. The way to determine if it is A minor or C major is how it is starting and ending and the feel. So now you are thinking If A note works the whole way how do I know it is not key of A….If you play the A major chord to start or end or pretty much anywhere it will be out of place. Or if it is in place at the start or finish you have determined the Key to be A major. If you are sure the A note is “the” note try playing the notes in a major scale pattern, it will only take a few to determine yea or nea and if it sounds wonky go back to the minor pattern and it should work. If neither work you may have to listen and pick another note that sounds all the way though the song like it fits.
