When I ask Mr. Google what key is In Memory of Elizabeth Reed in, I get G major, and the source is Hooktheory. Let me try a practical example. Take your guitar, put it in your lap, finger a G chord and play the piece on YouTube. Write down the minute:second where you hear a G chord. Guess what? You WON’T. There is no G chord in this piece. Normally if a piece is in F there will be an F chord somewhere, right? Please find a way to correct this misinformation. The chords most frequently used are A minor 9 and D7. Did some misguided individual make this judgement or is it an artificial intelligence decision?
I pray that AI didn’t do this, because that means it can glitch and become dangerous
depends - the original publication say Am… several sites say E Maj or Fb Major with some emphasis on C#m. my sense is G Major is close as i think it’s sort of the enharmonic Em but not really solidly defined by “chords” and the scale / key changes make it slightly tricky to box into a single key imho. Dicky Betts often used Em type sliding chord things…
