as i said its not the notes you play its tjhe relevance u give them.

take the 1 4 5 progression, this progression has a very strong feel. try it in g ionion for instance. (gmaj, cmaj, dmaj)

1 4 5 progression is when u take the first fourth and fith note in the scale and build chords on them buy addin thirds. ask me if u dont understand this.

now if u play a 1 4 5 in c ionion. thats cmaj fmaj gmaj. u should here the progression 'likes' comin back to the cmaj chord.

now if u where to do 1 4 5 in A aolion. you would get Aminor dminor eminor.

this again has a strong feelin and rests on the aminor chord. but this time it sounds minor. experiment with the other modes.
