How do you memorize relative minors? Learn the major scales (key signatures, sharps, and flats). Get accustomed to thinking of scale degrees simultaneously by note and number. To convert to relative minor, I find it easier to count backwards 8-7-6 (C-B-A) from the octave root (8th degree), and then add sharps or flats as I know them to be in the relative major. I play guitar so it's easy to recover from mistakes by using it as a chromatic approach or a slow bend.
There is no such thing as a C sharp minor on a piano. C sharp minor refers to a key signature or tonal center, not a singular note. Remember, the individual notes in music mean nothing until they are made relative to each other by the scale or chords used. Right but also the C# minor scale (C#m) means take the C# scale and flat the third note in the scale progression. The third note here is E# (E Sharp). Start by counting the first note of the scale, it is called the root, in this case C#. So, C#, D#, then E#. The chord is the usually the first (root), 3rd and fifth notes of the scale progression. In a minor key/scale you flat the 3rd note of the scale/chord. So here the E# is flatted to be natural E. The chord C# minor (C#m) consists of the notes C#, E and G#. Have fun.
The first note of a musical scale depends on the key you're in. For instance, if you're in the key of A, the first note, known as the root, would be A. If you're in the key of F#, the root would be F#. No matter if you're playing the major scale, the minor scale, the blues scale, or any other scale, the root always matches the chord you're playing over.
D minor - (Bb) D (harmonic) minor raises the 7th note which is C sharp (C#). D (Melodic) minor naturals 6th and raises 7th (C#) note when going up. when it come down, it naturals 7th note to (C) and flat the 6th note which is B to B flate (Bb) B minor - (F#,C#) B minor uses the same theory. All harmonic minor raises 7th note. and melodic minor naturals 6th and raises 7th note from A to (A#) when going up. it naturals the 7th note (A# to A) and the 6th note (G# to G) when coming down. Harmonic raise 7th Melodic raise 6th and 7th when going up, natural 6th and 7th when going down.
try to 'hear' the scale. is it minor or major? and what key is it in? then jump in and play a couple of notes in the scale as exploration and you'll learn what notes you can and cant use pretty fast. best way is to learn by your mistakes!Guitar Scale when ImprovisingHere are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers: I think that you might want to ask the other guitarist what he or she is playing or if you know all the notes on the fretboard, you can also look at their riff and see what notes are in it. If there are no sharps or flats, the key is C, and so on.In my opinion the above answer is absolutely correct. At my age, I need to keep things simple. I would ask what Key the other player is in if I didn't recognize the chord progression. Then you as a player would have to decide would a blues scale, penotonic etc., fit the mood of the song.http://www.guitartricks.com has some video lessons on how to improvise and match up to the key and all that good.Since a lot of chord progressions use a I, IV, V pattern, or some variation(ie. I, VI, IV, V), you can find the major scale easily by looking for those 3 chords and you will now know the rootchord . The root is the major key you want to play in. For example, take the chords Em, C9, G, D/F#. G is the root, C is the 4th, D is the 5th, and Em is the 6th. With this progression you can use the G major scale. In G, the notes are G(root/tonic) A(2nd/supertonic) B(3rd/mediant) C(4th/subdominant) D(5th/dominant) E(6th/submediant) F#(7th/leading tone) G(root). Of course there are still many progressions that do not have the I, IV, V, such as many western songs which use IIm, V, I, so you will need to be aware of that.If you know what key you are playing in, and you know your scales then you can apply the following: For a major key you choose the major scale to fit the key. (Key C Major, scale C Major, or C Major pentatonic.) For a minor key you choose the minor scale to fit the key. (Key C minor, scale C minor, or C minor pentatonic.) If you are playing the blues (which includes many country and Rock music) you are likely to choose the blues scale which is an altered form of the minor pentatonic. (Key C (major or minor), scale C blues, or C minor pentatonic.) While it is not popular to do so these days, it is possible to use the major pentatonic for a happier sounding blues. If you are a jazz enthusiast, you need to learn and study the Modes, which aid in discovering what scale material is well matched at any given moment of a jazz piece.A "guitar riff" is a short section that a guitar musician has produced.LETS SIMPLIFY THIS: Everyone has great answers, but the easiest thing to do is play the pentatonic scale in the relative minor. For example, if the song is in the key of G you play the pentatonic scale in Em. To find the relative minor just go down three frets from the root and that is the relative minor. Try it and you will find this works every time for almost any kind of music. EZ as pie!
A "blues scale" consists of the root, minor third, fourth, flatted fifth, natural fifth, minor seventh and the root again. The notes for the C Blues Scale would be C, Eb, F, Gb, G, Bb and C again.
NO neither the root is B minor used in the scale of A major! yours sincerily Ima Id Iot

Am Pentatonic= A C D E G A and repeats minor pentatonic= root, 1.5, 1, 1, 1.5, octave total of 5 out of the 7 notes in the minor scale, used to delete the semitones replacing them with 1.5 intervals
