Change The Key And Guitar Chords Easy

The key and chords I use is the one that suits my voice,too many singer/guitar p
layers insist on playing a song only in the key provided with it, As we all have
a different range of voice there is a need to accompany a song in a key that re
ally suits your voice.
Often a key right for one singer may cause another to force the voice into a squ
eak or a groan,There is a certain amount of change possible without too much fus
s with the use of a capo on up to four or five position on the neck,but it pays
off the extra effort to change the key without the use of a capo.
This is called transposing a key and gives access to accompaniments either lower
or higher in sound than originally printed,once understood any song in any song
book may be tailored to suit your voice, this really pays off when backing up a
singer at a session, lets say you already know and play the song yourself. You f
ind yourself with guitar in hand and someone starts to sing a song you already k
now, you try to back him/her up with the chords that you would normally play for
the song and find they are singing in a different key, what to do ? well try fi
nd the root chord, thats the chord at the start and mostly the end of each verse
. once you find that then you will know what key they are in and play the chord
s that go with it.

Example , in the key od D you would play D, G and A.
In the key of G you would play G, C and D
In the key of C you would play C, F and G

The top line is the keys,and the chords below are the the chords that would norm
ally go with that key.
For example the song below is in the key of D and the chords used are: D,G,and A
,
This[D] land is[G] your land,this land is[D]my land,To the northern[A]highlands
to the western[D]islands
To change the key and chords of the song to G just move over a few spaces to the
right to G ,Now the new chords will be G,C and D.
So D=G and G=C and A=D
