G# chord in C# natural minor scale
#2
My knowledge of music theory is almost non-existent but it sounds like you actually prefer the sound of the chords (the hamonic elements related to the individual notes of the scale) of the major scale related to the minor scale you are playing. Human beings tend to like a series of notes to be resolved (i.e. complete or finished) whereas the minor scales tend to be/sound 'open ended' even though they do return to the root of the scale as do all other scales. The one I know of anyway. Of course this is just my opinion and in musical theory terms I could be taking complete utter rubbish here. This is just pure guesswork based on instinct rather than any theoretical fact. Maybe someone with music theory would be better suited to provide the right answer. By the way try playing an Aminor9th chord over the first four frets - wonderful sounding chord - very evocative and open. Very spacey kind of sound. Use the open 6th (E-String) as a bass accompaniment. That's what I mean by open-ended (resolved by playing a Dminor chord.)
