Default Re: Question for someone who plays guitar

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks so much!

Follow up question: Is there a way to determine the key of a song based on its chord progression?

Thanks again!

yeah. you have to study intervals and harmonic structure to do it.

but as sort of an easy way...you can generally go by whatever the first chord is in a given section of a song. the first chord of a section names the key of that section in approximately 80% of pop/rock tunes.
