I'm taking a survey...

I want to know which keys people are playing in. NOT which keys people CAN play in, which keys they DO play in (big difference).

So.....

What I'm asking people to do is this:

If you gig: just take your most recent set list and list the keys of the songs on it.

If you don't gig: can you take ten songs (or thereabouts) that you currently play/practice often.

That's all I need you to do - I don't need to know what the songs are, what style they are, or what standard of player you are (some results may prompt me to ask a few questions, who knows?)

If you can, can you identify the key by key note and scale - eg A major; G blues; E dorian; D minor etc etc

Why am I doing this?

Actually that's a long answer, so without trying to be a tease, I'll leave that for now (if you know the sorts of things that I'm interested in you may be able to guess

).

Thanks for your cooperation & participation,

& to get things started, I'll go first with my own last set list.
