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.

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

Hi Fong, I did that same deduction - that he had to be referring to a Lesson in the Key of D which is why I went back searching his lessons but couldn't find the quote or the lesson- had me double confused until I realised that quote was from the post in this thread!....

But that "I don't understand why it is A G A D and the I-IV-V of the Key of G though" is the original query I had in the first place (I think)
