Your Favorite Key!

I would probably shoot anyone who wrote a piece in Cbb major.

Cry about it

The major third is strongly implied by the overtones of the 1+5+8 power chord. :P

A (..................................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.

Who the gently caress are you?

Eb major and Db major, both mellow

and B minor (dark)

E major for arranging things on guitar :thumbsup:

That's when you start to throw in extensions. ;) You can have your C# and play it too, but throw in a G# and a B and you have yourself a nice recipe. 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:

Anyway, if there's a melody, chances are it'll be in A minor, especially considering the bVI and bVII chords.

If they were all major triads, then it'd basically be the Ewoks' victory theme from ROTJ.

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

Have you ever heard hair metal? Sharp elevens are as common in hair metal as they are in Baroque music.

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:

My fav is G Major and D minor! :) good keys to play on the piano, and i like to write in those keys aswell!

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

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.

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: )

My favourite key is C# minor, definitely.

My favourite major key, ehm, Eb Major of Bb Major, or.. I'm not sure.

Favorite Major: Eb major

Favorite Minor: definitively C# minor, but I tend to write in G minor and A minor a lot.

Major: Db

Minor: Gm

Mode: F lydian, D dorian, A lydian

:blink:

Oh Gods, I'm a horrible musician.

...C major.

.......Well, all the others have too many black keys to improvise in!!!

::shuffles away::

C minor, G minor, F major, A major, D major.

Major: E major

Minor: B minor, A minor, F minor

I'm more partial to minor keys. :)

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. ;)

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.

Who the hell writes in Db minor?

:unsure:

Who the hell writes in Db minor?

:unsure:

A nu-metal band that can't tune their guitars?

fav major: E major

fav minor: tie between c minor and f minor

fav mode: dorian

fav overall: any that makes me weigh less!
