Nancies Key

[EnFuego]

What key is nancies in?

[Appfro]

D/Bm im not good enough to tell the difference

[Davy28]

Bm sounds about right for the Sing and dance part, and A for the look up at the sky part, but the verse I am not quite sure.

[Appfro]

yea, my bad, Look up at the sky is in A but im pretty sure everything else is in D/Bm

[gravedigger]

yeah Bm.

[EnFuego]

sweet. thanks. i thought it was in D, but wasnt sure.

[gravedigger]

sweet. thanks. i thought it was in D, but wasnt sure.

yeah you can say it's D for sure because the notes in the scales are the same as for Bm but the verse chord 2-x-4-4 which to me is like a F# major chord with the 13 instead of the major 3rd, which leads into the key of Bm (sing and dance...) and the A chord that's played at the "look up at the sky" part sets up the key of D (my mouth is open wide....) and also I've heard him end the song on 2-x-4-3 before which is a F# major which leads me to feel the song is in Bm. Although in Natural minor, the V chord is minor, it's kindofa rule that in minor keys, the V chord is a major chord. that would mean that the 7th scale degree of Bm would be sharpened to an A# but Dave avoids the A# by using the 2-x-4-4 chord in the verse instead of 2-x-4-3, which makes playing that A chord much less surprising. but like I said I've heard him end the song with 2-x-4-3, on the Recently album I believe.

anyway, I apoligize for the exausting post, but I try to explain myself and sometimes make it harder to understand for the reader. sorry if I confused anyone.

[Davy28]

just trunicate it a tad.

[Appfro]

yea but they aren't. like you call a song in one key or the other, i just don't know how to decide.

it doesn't really matter, anyone who says it does they are different is just being nitpicky and trying to be overcomplicated. the real difference is when you actual apply the scale

Explain. I thought they were different.

[brent11979]

ive been playng led for quite some time now and thing is what keys that i play n. for the beging play a G major scale.( in the key of G) for the sing and dace part play a Bm scale. for the look up at the sky part play a A major scale. sometimes i just mess aroud with this little cord on that part.

e9
b10
g9 just sort of pick up and down. of you need some more heip just let me know. and i try and post some more little tabs for you.

Explain. I thought they were different.

they have the exact same notes, just in a different order. so in terms of key, there is no difference
