for some reason, i can make much more "sad" progressions with MAJOR scale - g major is the saddest sounding scale, in my opinion. minor scales sound "darker" however.
of course, once you get into modes - it's all meaningless. learning intervals is the only thing you'll ever need.

Eh, I don't know about major ALWAYS sounding sad, but if you use the 7th a lot as the root for a chord in a progression I can definitely vouch for the possibility of a major scale effecting sadness. Unless you're Gmaj is emphasizing it's relationship with Emin... lol but then, we are getting into modes, aren't we?
=P

It would very much be in your interest to check out one of the many elementary music theory guides that exist on this forum.
