Relative Minors are the 6th (VI) note of a major scale – so one way of using them is if you want a song to sad sadder, rather than play in C major, play in A minor!
Have fun with this.

Thanks, it’s a great video and well explained. There’s just one thing I don’t get..
If I were to play a melody in C major, it would sound ‘happy’. If I were to play one in a minor, it would sound ‘sad’. But if they both have the same notes, what determines whether it’s ‘happy’ or ‘sad’?
