Keys to songs
« on: July 11, 2012, 10:56:43 AM »
Question...when someone makes a statement like.."we play alot of songs in the key of Eb, Ab, Bb," but don't say if its major Eb or minor Eb, is it the 3rd note of the scale that will tell me which one it is? Thanks!

Yes, the third defines whether major or minor. 

Usually, it's implied to be major unless otherwise noted.
