Hey @jumpinjeff , if you replaced the word “key” for the word scale or mode, it would be 100% correct. But, there’s no such thing as relative and parallel keys. Those would be modes, which can be called scales.
A key is the specific 7 notes that lead to 7 specific chords that all the scales, or modes, use. Of course, those would be relative modes. The parallel modes would come from different keys, and therefore use a different set of 7 notes and these would generate a different set of chords.
It seems the entire music world is now misusing this word, key. I won’t be able to stop that. But it causes an awful lot of confusion, so I’m trying to straighten out the use of this word where I can.
