  • Aren't you playing the Key of C? Doesn't the key of G include F sharp? am confused can someone clarify...

  • the F sharp is one note below the G

  • hey i have a question.

    If I was writing a song in the key of G, and the chords which i included were C, D and E. Is it okay/correct if i also added all 5 shapes of the pentatonic scale from each of the chords i just said?

    E.g. C minor pentatonic scale, D minor pentatonic scale, G minor pentatonic scale and C minor pentatonic scale etc...

    Also, can i mix minor and major pentatonic scales or not?

  • good question. Chords in the key of G would be G, Am, Bm, C, D and Em. the Em pentatonic scale would work great as would the Am and the Bm. the others you mentioned may provide for some interesting outside sounds and alternative tonalities. some may sound pleasing and some will sound wrong. use your ear is my best advice. good luck and happy jamming...

  • @delpuckett Question; Are these chords desirable due to the shapes being in the G scale and the Em pentatonic is also covered in the shape of the G scale...

  • @mayito714 - each key has a "chord family" it goes in this order - 1Major- 2minor- 3minor- 4Major- 5Major- 6minor- 7minor7-5 - the "distances" between these chords follows the pattern (WWHWWWH) where W=a whole step and H=a half step
