Thread Name: Key changes - what are the rules?
Subject: RE: Key changes - what are the rules?
Hmmmm ....
Moving from C to B is "magical", Garg? In a song, you mean? As a total key change, not just a chord change (like "I Remember You")? I don't think so ....
Also I would have to disagree that C to D is "magical", (at least in a song). Ref greg stephens point above about G to A.
"Hackneyed but effective" would be my choice of adjectives. And I speak as one who uses this cliche all the time. "Okie from Muskogee" just wouldn't be the same without that gear change in the last verse.
