Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I am sure you mean C# minor over E major!. It is the relative minor (or aolian mode)!. It is all the same notes just rearranged C# to C#!. E Major is E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D# !. C# Minor is C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A, B!. All the same notes!. So essentially if you are playing C# minor pentatonic (8th Position) or C# blues you are actually playing E Major Pentatonic!. That is the formula Allman Brothers (and many country and southern rock guys) use!. Lynyrd Skynyrd did the same though often it was E Minor over G major!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
