December 31, 200817 yr The major third is strongly implied by the overtones of the 1+5+8 power chord. :PA (..................................major) ? I just kinda take issue with three whole sharps in my key signatures. I use plenty of minor third to balance out the C#, ya know? I'd accept two sharps, but the third implies the music is too nursery-rhyme.
December 31, 200817 yr Eb major and Db major, both mellow and B minor (dark) E major for arranging things on guitar :thumbsup:

Sharp-elevens are nice too. If you wanna be bold about it, throw in a flat-nine... it seems to have this stunning effect on some people that I've never been quite able to fully explain. :musicwhistle:

If they were all major triads, then it'd basically be the Ewoks' victory theme from ROTJ.
December 31, 200817 yr I am quite partial to Bb minor as of late. Just hit all of the black keys along with C and F, its great! For a major key, Bb is always nice, as is Ab..... This is all mostly coming from an improvisation perspective on the piano. And A minor is just too easy..:D

Sharp elevens are as common in hair metal as they are in Baroque music.
January 2, 200917 yr Well, I'm a hair metal guitarist, so my favorite key is A. Not major or minor, either. Just A. A with a strong I chord, but also with gobs of bVI and bVIIs. Oh yeah. No love for E Minor? :sadtears:
January 2, 200917 yr My fav is G Major and D minor! :) good keys to play on the piano, and i like to write in those keys aswell!
January 2, 200917 yr C major and G minor i also like c minor and a major alot to i love all those D major too actually lol i like alot of keys more major keys for minor only c and g
January 3, 200917 yr No love for E Minor? :sadtears: E has a strong hold on second, but A is definitely best for me. Having the bVI and bVII on a lower string is always helpful, and I don't have a seven-string.
January 3, 200917 yr Major: Db Minor: Gm Mode: F lydian, D dorian, A lydian I find it startlingly amusing to evaluate the results ... it appears Eb major is THE most popular key so far (not including my own preference). Db major and D minor are tied for a close second. (AHAHA, a minor second, to be exact... hahaha... wow) Three people chose both Eb major and D minor together. Three people choose keys with the same root, two people chose relative keys. Two people prefer not using keys. Two people prefer minor over major. D is the most common root (and Eb is second. Again... a minor second. :mellow: )
January 3, 200917 yr My favourite key is C# minor, definitely. My favourite major key, ehm, Eb Major of Bb Major, or.. I'm not sure.
January 4, 200917 yr Favorite Major: Eb major Favorite Minor: definitively C# minor, but I tend to write in G minor and A minor a lot. Major: DbMinor: Gm Mode: F lydian, D dorian, A lydian I find it startlingly amusing to evaluate the results ... it appears Eb major is THE most popular key so far (not including my own preference).

January 4, 200917 yr Oh Gods, I'm a horrible musician. ...C major. .......Well, all the others have too many black keys to improvise in!!! ::shuffles away::
January 9, 200917 yr Major: E major Minor: B minor, A minor, F minor I'm more partial to minor keys. :)
January 13, 200917 yr This is an impossible question. It depends on my mood I think, but a lot of times I prefer soloing in keys with fewer accidentals. ;)
January 13, 200917 yr I think B minor is my favorite key all around. I also partake to F minor and E major. And I love the concept of D flat minor.
January 13, 200917 yr Who the hell writes in Db minor?:unsure: A nu-metal band that can't tune their guitars?
January 13, 200917 yr fav major: E major fav minor: tie between c minor and f minor fav mode: dorian fav overall: any that makes me weigh less!
