I need to concentrate more!
I think I threw in a fair amount of confusion there.

Kirk said the song was in the Key of G then spoke of the I IV V chords, which are not A G A D in the Key of G, since A is clearly the II of the Key of G and it would require a C to be the IV which isn't there.

Since that was the case, I looked for a key with G A D as the First, Fourth and Fifth chords. That was the Key of D. Which also happened to the be the Fifth of G.

Which made me think he had used the Fifth to transfer through a Key change as this is a common tool in music.

My fault. Since I didn't really look at the lesson and was just trying to make sense of what Kirk said.

I don't understand why it is A G A D and the I-IV-V of the Key of G though.
