Yep

@@jonathanjansson3434 heroes of our time is major

[@remnant24]

Wait, what? This doesn't sound like power metal at all-more like pop ppunk. Also, the vast majority of power metal is in minor key and thrash is sometimes in major.

[@HappyMetalMusic]

Most Dragon Force songs are actually in minor

[@erykszymanski9167]

Really wish these guys still made videos, this is a criminally underrated channel.

I'm actually curious to find out how long it takes them to reconstructing any solo into a major key because it's so accurate!! Well done Happy Metal!!

[@HappyMetalMusic]

Depends on the solo but usually it doesn't take too long unless a certain lick requires a lot of practice
