Looking for help with this tricky problem...

[Kev Brigden]

To begin with, is the philosophy that if a degree of one scale belongs to another that other scale can be played over the top? IE. If A major is relative major to F#minor, then all of the notes (and their own respective scales) of A major will fit over F#minor??

Okay, I came up with a progression this morning that is in the key of
F#minor... I think it went:

F#m, Amajor, F#m, Emajor, F#m, Amajor, Bminor

Over the top of that I first played B harmonic minor:

B C# D E F# G# A# Bve

Which starting from F is:

F# G# A# B C# D E F#ve - what mode would this be??? Or are modes not applicable when playing in a minor key??? If so, what am I doing???

THEN:

I played E major which is the 5th degree of A major (relative major to F#minor)

E F# G# A B C# D# E which again, starting from F# would be:

F# G# A B C# D# E - what mode would this be???

cheers for any help with this tricky predicament...
