Another think is about transposing. In the example I had before I have the cords "a:m g a:m g c g d:m a" But with a->e, the d:m gets transposed to a:m but the song only works with a c here. I do not know transposing very well, so, is that just a wrong chord in the original or is there any trick to get the c from the d:m? If I look at the Circle of fifths, I just think, the first assumption is right.
Well, no amount of transposing will make a minor chord into a major. However, one is able to play minors against majors (and vice versa), but that technically changes the effective chord. For instance, an E minor played on top of a C major results in a C major seventh. This would be skin to saying an E minor with a C root.
Perhaps the original music wrote D minor but meant F major with a D root, which is really a D minor seventh. Transposing that chord a fifth results in a C major with an A root, or an A minor seventh. Is that what you are after?
