Comment on Deriving Keys from Chords in MusicComments−XCSme5yIs the first example with C and Am correct? It says the first chord of Am scale is A, shouldn't it be Am?−cvwright5yNo, the first note of Am is definitely still A. What makes the difference between major or minor etc are the notes that come after.For example, the A major scale goes A, B, C#, ..., while A minor uses the minor third, so you get A, B, C, ... etc.−XCSme5yThe error in the article was fixed. I was referring to the first chord in the Am scale, not the first note. In the original article it said the first chord in Am is A, which was wrong.−dizzystarOP5yIt could be a typo. Thanks for pointing it out.−kevinwang5yyeah

No, the first note of Am is definitely still A. What makes the difference between major or minor etc are the notes that come after.

The error in the article was fixed. I was referring to the first chord in the Am scale, not the first note. In the original article it said the first chord in Am is A, which was wrong.
