Sometimes I make a song and want a Solo to sound different but still fit. I render the song then re-write the chords as Relative Minors for Major chords and Minor for Majors and render only the soloist. I have only used Sax so far but I liked the results on the 2 songs I made. Here is a link to one where the band is Minor and the Sax is Major. http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_12578813

If your Uncle is a Miner, then he would be a Relative Miner!

My cousin was career military, but he was a Major.... and he had 6 sisters, so I guess he is a Major 7th... of course now we are old, and his life is a bit diminished, augmented by his military retirement.

(Have we covered them all with bad puns yet?)

Tommy C, you are ALRIGHT brother! I don't care WHAT Rharv says about you!!!

It's Rob's fault...

Don't know about you but I've flatted a few Fifths, and I couldn't see sharp afterward! And learned the hard way if you're driving and can't see sharp you'll be flat! If Superman would have been into music do you think we would have altered his name to Super Locrian? The whole tone of this thread has really altered my mind so much that I may need to raise my Tonic and Gin to you Eddie! After 8 of them would it be Octatonic and Gin? Doctor said I might Diatonic and Gin! Now I'm afraid I have diminished whole tone of this thread on an ascending scale totally enharmonic to the original post. I'm glad to see we have an equal temperament when it comes to minor humor ! Don't pick on Robh he's all write in my posts!

I think I know him. We both served under General Midi (bless him).

Thx to the OP - good tip.
