Wake = G major Given Up = E minor Leave Out All the Rest = A minor Bleed it Out = F# minor Shadow of the Day = B major What I've Done = G minor Hands Held High = A major No More Sorrow = Eb minor Valentine's Day = D minor In Pieces = F minor The Little Things Give You Away = First half is A minor, second half is D major No Roads Left = A minor I can't remember off the top of my head what key In Between is in.
Yeah. I understand tunings and some chords, but that's about as far as that goes. I couldn't tell you what key anything is in if I wanted to.
I can't understand chords too well (I'm learning!) but I can identify key signatures. It's one of the first things I became good at when I started playing keyboard, since I learn and play almost entirely by ear.
+1 lol I THINK i know what they are. What note(s) the song is written in? Or start in? I see that No more sorrow is in Eb minor, the same as Place for my head & forgetten? If I'm right I understand it. if not... lol Then there's TIME signitures... Don't get me started on that. I dont have a clue how you figure out time sigs on songs. Even tempos are tricky to figure out lol
The key signature of the song is what key the song is written in. For example, Wake is in G Major. The G Major scale consists of G, A, B, C, D, E, and F#. Time signatures are how many beats are in a measure, and what consists of a beat. So a 4/4 time signature, which is a common signature, means there are 4 beats to a measure and the beat consists of quarter notes. Thus, 4 quarter notes = 1 measure of music. Take From The Inside for instance. That song is written in 6/8 I believe. You can hear it in the beginning sample loop. Count how many notes you hear before the sample repeats. 6 beats to a measure. The guitar plays like a 4/4 time signature though.
