I listen to a song that uses these main chords:
Bm - G - D - A
I have heard that the key of a piece is NORMALLY, but not always the first chord, so Bm.
But! That is not always the case and I have used a few websites with chord charts and they tell me
that it could EITHER be in the key of D or Bm!? So which one is it? And how do I find out for other songs?
Because I have found this to be quite common with a lot of songs, these websites tell me it is one of two
keys! Which one!? It is very frustrating! I understand if the song is ambiguous (E.g. Electric Counterpoint - Steve Reich)
but I know that these songs are NOT ambiguous!
Can someone explain in a simple way, I'm only 15. Thankyou:biggrin1:
