Start by figuring out the song's melody notes and try to match its notes with both scales; you'll surely get the required scale. Another possible way is intuition by listening to the song. If the song is giving happy feels, it is the major scale, and a sad song indicates minor.

Start practice for ear training; whether the scale is minor or major can be figured out through this only after learning the scale.

If the scale is already known, then there is no point in applying major/minor since you already know it. But from your question, I think you ask when the root is known, what it should be major or minor. Try to find the chord difference, resolving note or chord, and feel the song. A simple method is to...

But from your question, I think you ask when the root is known, what it should be major or minor. Try to find the chord difference, resolving note or chord, and feel the song. A simple method is to try both major and minor over the song and see which one suits best.

It depends on the chord progression you are playing over. If the chords are minor, then we have to play the minor scale and similarly for major. But that doesn't mean you can't choose a major scale over a minor. But if you are starting with soloing for the first time, apply this. E.g., For A minor chord,...

It depends on the chord progression you are playing over. If the chords are minor, then we have to play the minor scale and similarly for major. But that doesn't mean you can't choose a major scale over a minor. But if you are starting with soloing for the first time, apply this. E.g., For A minor chord, play A natural minor ( aeolian mode) or minor pentatonic scale. For A major, play A major scale (Ionian mode) or major pentatonic scale. I hope it helps.

It's effortless, sir. First, you have to decide on relatives notes of a particular song or tune. After that, you would get a third note which will be 'Ga'. If it's original, then it's major, and if it's half-scale down compare to actual, then it's minor.

Each major key uses a different set of notes (its major scale), just as it did in major scales, starting the minor scale pattern on a different note. A minor key is called the relative minor of the major key that has the same key.

The scale is a succesive arrangement of notes. A major and a minor scale consist of 8 notes is the the repeat of first note.

Suppose you know the routes of scales, either major or minor or any scale. Just apply the routes after listening to the song more and more times. Those who love music can catch it quickly.

Just check the notes which matches the song tune

How many chords are there in keyboard. How much time will it typically take to pick up speed?
Your question itself is not correct. A chord is when 2 or more keys are pressed on the keyboard. A triad is a chord when the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of a scale are played together. e.g if C,E & G keys are pressed together the C triad (chord) played.
