yup. but it works and sounds just as bueaitul doing it in either key...dmajor or g.....
caus i think MOST...not sure if all, cause id ont ahve a guitar with me....notes in the Dmajor scale make up quite a bit of the notes in G as well... , D E, G , A, ummm yea, and some more....
So, the only note that's different is C versus C#. Since "Release" has a C chord (not a C# chord), it's gotta be in the key of D-major.
Chords in a G-major scale:
G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F#dim, G
Chords in a D-major scale:
D, Em, F#m, G, A, Bm, C#dim, D
Obviously, there is a lot of difference here. Shared chords are G, Bm, D, and Em.
So, if you're just filling in scales or basslines, the difference is small (just one note being a half-step off) but if you're playing chords or soloing using different chords, you'll want to stick to the key of G.
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
