Question on I-IV-V with other chords.
I was figuring things out and using that song "Take It Easy" by the Eagles. Well, It's in the key of G (I think). So it goes: G C D. Well, just for fun I put that in the key of D (I think). So now it's: D A G Well, that's all fine and well and sounds great, but then Em and Am are thrown in (in the key of G). How would I translate THESE into the key of D?

So Am would be Em, and Em would be Bm?

The easiest way to transpose in the head is to go by the alphabet. If G is I and C is IV, then in the key of D the D is I and four letters away is G. This would be the basis of it, but it's very helpful to understand the major 'chord scale' to begin with:
To be theoretically correct, the vii chord is actually a half dim chord as opposed to strictly minor.

If you go to this page: Transposing and using a capo ... you'll find a transposition chart which will help with this kind of thing, Alawiggle.

Nicely done, Kirk!! I enjoyed seeing the Music Building lesson as well. You do have a knack for visualization.
