Hello lovely guitarists, I just started learning acoustic guitar...still mostly in the theory phase. Is it possible for a song to have chords from more than one scale? For example, I looked up the chords for a few Ilayaraaja songs and they are from more than one scale (I may be wrong). thanks, VJ
Hi VJ, Yes. To name a few songs: 1. Kanne Kalaimaane, Poove Sempoove - Both of these are in D Minor scale but in between the songs, it will shift to D Majors scale (meaning you will have F# notes) and then return to D Minor. 2. Enna Maa Kannu from Mr Bharath - Is in Em on Pallavi but shifts to E Major in Charanam. This is the beauty of IR's talent in such songs. There are many songs like this. Hope this helps. Cheers, Vijay
