The relative minor scale of G Major is E Minor.
To find the relative minor of any major scale, you simply go down three half steps (or semitones) from the root note of the major scale. In the case of G Major, the root note is G. Counting down three half steps would look like this:
- G to F# (1 half step)
- F# to F (2 half steps)
- F to E (3 half steps)
Therefore, the relative minor key associated with G Major is E Minor. This means both scales share the same key signature, which has one sharp (F#), but they have different tonal centers and moods.
