Life would be simple! • But life isn’t simple, and there are 12 key signatures we could play in (and that’s just the major keys!) • One of the biggest reasons why we might need to change keys (or transposing, as it’s called) is because of the singer. • Not everybody has the same vocal range, and some people just cannot sing in certain keys. I used to play in a band, and whenever the singer wanted the song changed, it would take me forever to sit down and figure out how to transpose every chord into the new key. • It doesn’t have to be that hard! In fact, there’s a really easy way to do it -- and it’s super fast. • A lot of people comment on our videos asking why I refer to some chords as the 1, 4, 5, etc. Well, you’re about to see why! • By assigning numbers to each chord in relation to the root note, it becomes super simple to move between keys. • Here’s an example. I have a song in the key of F# Major (yuck!). The chords are F#-D# minor-C#-B. Now, I need to transpose that into the key of C (because C is awesome). By assigning numbers to the chords I can make the process incredibly simple and fast. • Here’s how. F# is the root so it is the 1 chord. D# minor is six notes up from F#, so it is the 6 chord. C# is the 5th, so it’s the 5 chord, and B is the 4 chord. • So instead of thinking of the original progression as F#-D# minor-C#-B I can think of it as 1-6-5-4. • The key of C is 6 half-steps below the key of F#. But that doesn’t matter, because I don’t have to count intervals now. All I need to do is play that 1-6-5-4 progression in the key of C. So it becomes C-Am-G-F. Easy! • I could choose another key. How about F Major - it’s now F-Dm-C-Bb. Super simple! • I would really encourage you to try this out for yourself. It’s a great way to move out of your comfort zone and learn some new keys. • This is a short lesson, but here are the timecodes: • Setting the stage (hear me sing too low!) - 0:27 • Assigning numbers - 0:46 • How to think in numbers (this takes some practice) - 1:30 • Here is the lead sheet with chords so you can practice changing keys - https://pianote.s3.amazonaws.com/blog... • If you're not quite sure about chords and how to play them, check out our FREE Chord Hacks series • ►https://Pianote.com/chord-hacks/ • And for absolute beginners looking for a place to get started -- we have you covered as well with another free series • ►https://www.pianote.com/getting-started • Make sure you Follow us on social media.
