ok...
I am completly new (not to mention clueless) to this whole theory thing so this might seem like a dumb question to ask but...
how do you know what key a song is in?
lets say your playing the chord progression A G D in the key of C then you want to move it up to the key of D but don't have a capo around ...wouldn't it still be in the key of C but just new chords of B E A ?????
Im so confused...which is usually what happpens when i try to sort out this theory stuff. I wanna learn but I give myself a headache everytime I try oi. anyway, enough of me complaining.....
any help would really be great.
thanks,
Sally
If you're only needing to transpose, you just take the same degrees of scale in the new key as in the old. C is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, so A, G, D are vi, V, ii (6th, 5th, 2nd), in D (D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D) you get B (vi), A, (V) & E (ii).
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?
