Start by figuring out the song's melody notes and try to match its notes with both scales; you'll surely get the required scale. Another possible way is intuition by listening to the song. If the song is giving happy feels, it is the major scale, and a sad song indicates minor.

Start on the fretboard if you learn to your fretboard—the very easily Handle to practice method. For example- After playing string open, after opening e, after pressing the exact string in first freight, it becomes F. From this, it is easy to understand how freight boards and major and minor scales...

Start practice for ear training; whether the scale is minor or major can be figured out through this only after learning the scale.

If the scale is already known, then there is no point in applying major/minor since you already know it. But from your question, I think you ask when the root is known, what it should be major or minor. Try to find the chord difference, resolving note or chord, and feel the song. A simple method is to...

A simple method is to try both major and minor over the song and see which one suits best. read less

It depends on the chord progression you are playing over. If the chords are minor, then we have to play the minor scale and similarly for major. But that doesn't mean you can't choose a major scale over a minor. But if you are starting with soloing for the first time, apply this. E.g., For A minor chord,...

But that doesn't mean you can't choose a major scale over a minor. But if you are starting with soloing for the first time, apply this. E.g., For A minor chord, play A natural minor ( aeolian mode) or minor pentatonic scale. For A major, play A major scale (Ionian mode) or major pentatonic scale. I hope it helps. read less

Experienced & certified Music instructor...Teaching is my passion.

It's effortless, sir. First, you have to decide on relatives notes of a particular song or tune. After that, you would get a third note which will be 'Ga'. If it's original, then it's major, and if it's half-scale down compare to actual, then it's minor.

Each major key uses a different set of notes (its major scale), just as it did in major scales, starting the minor scale pattern on a different note. A minor key is called the relative minor of the major key that has the same key.

The scale is a succesive arrangement of notes. A major and a minor scale consist of 8 notes is the the repeat of first note.

Go wherever music takes you

Suppose you know the routes of scales, either major or minor or any scale. Just apply the routes after listening to the song more and more times. Those who love music can catch it quickly.
