Summary
Minor vs. Major: Minor scales have a darker, more melancholic sound compared to major scales. This is because of the flattened 3rd, 6th, and 7th notes compared to a major scale.
Chords: Chords in a scale are built on the notes of that scale. For example, in the C minor scale, the Cm chord is built on the 1st (C), 3rd (Eb), and 5th (G) notes.
