Poll: Best major key?

[Chaotic42]

I love D. Everything in the key of D just sounds nice.

the G progression is easier to play on the guitar 🙂

G isn't bad on the saxophone (the only instrument I play).

I hate playing Bb or G#. Both annoying keys to press indeed. 🙂

Keys are for sissies. Atonalism all the way!

which sax? G on alto and bariton is actually Bb on the piano, and G on tenor and soprano is F on the piano.

I mean adjusted for the key of the instrument.

Playing G# means awkward pinky scrunching.

Maybe I should switch to tenor, since it's bigger.

ah, okay. Yeah, I play alto sax too. tenor does have a thicker and fuller sound, methinks, and sounds better.

Different with me. I almost never play in the key of D or even G. I almost always play in F, Bb, Eb, or Ab. So I voted for F.

Yeah considering all you do is slide your hand up or down on the guitar depending on where the root note lands.

ups

D....but sometimes I like C because you don't have to remember what are accidentals and stuff.

Unless you want to play real chords (not barre) then yes, the G major key is the easiest to play on the guitar.

Hell, why do you think 90% of POP songs are in the key of G?
