Finding Keys
So, are keys based on the root note of the chord and not the actual individual notes? I mean, if I have a progression that's something like C, B, Gm, F7, C (just made up) would that be in the key of C even though B, Gm and F7 contain notes that aren't part of the key? I mean, do you just determine what scale those root notes are in, and that's the key?
Or does it matter what chord the piece resolves to? Just from Kirk's lessons, I know that something in the key of Am doesn't actually have to start with that chord. But, at least in one lesson I can think of, the piece does end with it. So, what exactly determines what key something is in?
