Thank you very much again. I think I must explore major keys more. I have avoided them because of my thinking that minor is better cos its darker innit!?!?! But major can obviously sound dark if one knows what they are doing.

I mean more in terms of chord progressions. Like The Police's "Roxanne" is in A major but still has "something of the night" about it. Same with Every Breath you Take. I think thats in A major but still sounds pretty melancholy to me.

Do you use the harmomic/melodic minor when you go up in a minor scale and a natural/alieon when you go back down or is that just for when writing classical music?

I think stuff like Irish music uses the natural when going up or down but I really like using the F# in A minor cos I like to be able to use a d major when writing stuff in A minor. But my chord progressions are still pretty boring as I can never get past using the root, iv,v and vi and inversions. Do you/can you use a minor V and major V chords in the same track.

And is a major 7th one one tone below the root and a minor 7th is one semitone below the root?

I'm probably talking crap here but I ain't no musician.
