Indeed the difference between a minor 3rd and a major third is a half step. But then you've now got your major 2nd and major 6th.. and major 7th..

 

It's more about the overall mood of a key. If you played a minor ii v i progression (say Bm7b5 E7 Am7) and a major ii v i progression (say Bm7 E7 AM7) you'll hear how it sounds different. You can also try it with a i iv v progression (say Am7 Dm7 E7 and AM7 DM7 E7)

 

To me it's more about the movement of the voices in the song that gives it a mood/vibe, not just a single note.

There is actually 3 or 4 cover songs on this album... And Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers were the backing band on it...
:eek:



You're right brother. Funny, but I heard that it was a Cash song when Badmotorfinger originally came out. Looks like I'm just a dumbass.
