I never said minor sounds the same as major, I just think it's stupid people arguing over the certain note of a key. You aren't going to destroy a tune in D minor by shifting the notes up or down a bit in the same intervals, it makes no difference aside from the sweet-spots on the instrument or the sound-system. It's like when people on here say "F sub-bass hits the hardest so I've got to play in F minor" No you fucking don't, there's an absolute ton of keys with each note in them.

I find keys are really practical within performed music, I've written this track that just happens to be in E, can you play a guitar solo in E. See that's useful.

I agree with you, of course I acknowledge that different types of keys sound the different, minors sound minor, majors sound major, different modes give different "eastern" or other "vibes". I was just arguing to people that think, a d minor scale sounds more "sad" than a c minor scale. One might sound better cause of instrument/system sweet spots, but that's it.

A minor, just because I always jam around it. Not quite a conventional minor though, more like Am pentatonic with Eb, b, f# and g# thrown in for colour.

I feel like some people haven't even realised that movie was a piss-take.
