Transforming Major Melodies Into Minor Keys - Fiddle Lesson

You can reinvent major key songs like “Oh Susanna” by playing them in a minor key. This is a fun way to improve your mental map of scales, melodies and the fingerboard. Plus, it's a creative practice which gets you into the mindset for improvisation.

Great video, Jason! Major/minor transposition can be deceptively complex, so I like how you framed it here. Transposing the other way - from minor to major - I've always been amused by how the love song from The Godfather ends up sounding like a pokey tune from a Western! 😅

Thanks for sharing how this lesson moves with you. Yea it can be fun, funny and amazing, the change of how the song feels 🙂
