My question is... what key is this in? E? ...or am I figuring that out wrong? which is probably the case  :?
Looks like A to me from those chords.<br><br>Assuming every chord is in the key, with A and D as major chords we're looking at A (A, D and E are major) or D (D, G and A as major). C#m is in A (although C#dim is in D and substituting a minor for the diminished is common enough for it not to be a big problem), and the G# used as bass note is also in the A major scale, but not in D.
Thanks! I knew I was missing something. Now can you explain why this is also A? ... please  :D
