Why E minor feels the way it does
Minor keys sound more serious and inward than major ones, and E minor adds the ring of the open low E string. Its relative major is G, which shares the same notes, so the two blend easily. In Camelot notation E minor is 9A. Its dark but warm color suits moody vlogs as well as heavy riffs.
