I heard of this trick the Beatles once used to use but i cant remember what it was!!
But then i realised by listening to the radio that a large number of songs, particluarly using piano, begin in a majory sound then the first chord of the verse and lyrics in a minor chord, is there a name for this? Is there a common note in the scale of the songs key of which the its commonly used in this manor? Is this the Maj / Minor Vamp trick?

Please remind me again what notes a major and minor etc in a scale?
