Is that Larry David?

E is the most pleb because it's every first time guitarists pentatonic jam key

The best is Bm

I can into this thread just to find that out.
There's no solid source but apparently it's just a Larry David impersonator.

>>66068707
That's a weird way to spell F#
>>
>>66068622
C# minor has always been my personal favorite
>>
>>66068755
agree
>>
>>66068755
>F#
true patrician choice.
everyone with perfect pitch know F# is best note
>>
>>66068755
>>66068772
>>66068784
F# master race
>>
>>66068622
E sharp
>>
>>66068707
Bm is every second time guitarists pentatonic jam key.

dang made me second glance, its definitely not larry david, I always thought this image was legit. It would make sense for LD to like the bandname sleep at least

This is gonna sound fucking retarded but songs in the key of F# evoke mind's-eye visuals of a really pleasant bright green for me. Like Matrix green but soothing, if that makes sense
>>
that would be Eflat
>>
>>66069099
confirm F# the best key. seriously I didn't think perfect pitch was possible until I started noticing F# is simply more vibrant character sound

Why do keys elicit different emotions
>>
>>66069099
That is a medical condition, can't remember the name.

But the original producer for Alice In Chains had it too.
>>
>>66069674
Synesthesia
>>
>>66069674
Synesthesia. Reportedly Aphex Twin has it too.

Mine's not very prominent. I hear some people talk about actually seeing colors and shapes and stuff in their visual field, but I just have mild mind's-eye color associations for certain sounds, keys, letters, words, etc.

It's neat but nothing special

>>66069850
Seems plausible. Like a byproduct of associative memory or something

Me and Josh Homme agree, C is the way to go.

desu, the fact that the relative minor is Ebm, makes it that much better. Ebm is a really pleasant key, too. F#>Ebm>Ab>whatever else.
>>
>>66068622
Depends whether you're in major or minor

G-sharp minor is objectively the best key for anything in general
C(-sharp) minor are the best minor keys
E-flat major is bae, but if you have the patience of working with C-sharp major, it's better
>>
>>66070821
Fuck I love a lot of keys.

An easier question is which keys suck

>E-flat Minor
>C-sharp Major
>>
because you only play guitar faggot
>>
Real question: how can I learn keys? I'm tired of being a fag
>>
Major Keys only:

>PATRICIAN
F#/Gb
Ab
Db
B
>DECENT
Bb
Eb
F
A
>PLEBEIAN
C
E
D
G
>>
>>66068707
I thought it was agreed that C was the most pleb key
>>
>>66070072
this guy gets larry

theres no way he would wear any of that
>>
>>66070896
agreed.
>>
>>66071546
for piano. E is the C of guitar.
>>
>>66070896
So just because keys have tons of sharps and flats they are patrician? How's music school faggot?

B flat

Raveonettes know this, their first record every song is B flat minor and their next one everything is B flat major. That's why they are huge rockstars
>>
>>66068622
Most convenient keys for guitar:
D major
E minor
G major
B minor.
>>
>>66068755
that's a weird way to spell Gb
>>
>>66069099
That's interesting. I see E and Eb as very green and emerald but F# is a strong reddish purple
>>
>>66070896
but D/E/G are all beautiful. Fuck it's really hard to say any key is worse than another if you've heard anything uniquely beautiful in each
>>
Bb
>>
>>66070896
C should be at the very bottom of pleb tier

Babby's first white key melodies
>>
>>66071639
The more sharps/flats a key has, the further it is from basic beginner shit that everyone's heard a million times because anyone can write or play on just the white keys of a piano or just in open position on guitar.

I've never been to music school or even taken a theory class. I barely understand keys and modes and even I realize this
>>
>>66072270
Neat. I get more of a pale yellow-orange from E major and reds and purples from A
>>
>>66072251

The only songs on guitar in the key of Gb or F# are when the guitars are tuned a half step down.
The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

for example
>>
>>66068622

D minor is the best key because it is the saddest key
>>
>>66072270
>>66069099

fuck off, synesthesia is meme tier bullshit and scientifically proven to be fake

get the attention you seek by masturbating in public like everybody else
>>
>Most harmonius
Db Major

>Saddest
G Minor

>Happiest
A Major

>Best key for buttjams on geetar
E Major

>Folkiest
Em

what's the difference?
i understand the difference between minor and major keys, but you can play the same song in C and D and any other key so what's the point?
