What other modes/scales can i play over a song in the Key of Eb Minor?

Question

I'm wanting to have two pieces of music flow from one to another, first one will be completely original and performed by me the other one is a song that already exists. I've already discovered that the artist's song is in the Key of Eb Minor; however despite being in a minor key when i listen to it it doesn't sound that sad. As it's a eurodance track it tends to be more upbeat

Answer 1

If it's in the eurodance style you probably can get away with just playing E flat minor pentatonic. Just play all the 5 black notes on the keyboard. I guarantee that will work beautifully.

Answer 2

It depends on what kind of minor the song is in. The main discrepancy is in the 6th and 7th scale degrees, for example the Eb natural minor scale (Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb, Cb,Db) is different from the harmonic (Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb, Cb,D) which is also different from the Dorian mode (Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb, C,Db). The song probably has a chord progression, I would recommend figuring out the chords then I could give a recommended scale for each chord.
