Learn More »I’m often asked the best way to learn all 12 keys and while I’ve advocated many methods in the past, the most practical way is to adapt my “3 x 12” rule. Simply put: Take 3 songs you know and learn them in all 12 keys . It helps if they are songs that utilize a variety of different chords. That’s why picking 3 is important because between them, you should get a good mix of chords off every tone of the scale. And since most songs follow the same patterns, you’d be surprised how few chords you really need to know to play in all 12 keys. Taking 3 different styled songs and learning them in all 12 keys usually gives you plenty. The easiest way is to simply start at the original key of the song and move every note up a half step. So if a song is in Eb major, you’ll attack E major next by literally taking every note in every chord and moving it up a half step. Transposing a song to a new key is no more than moving every note up the appropriate amount of notes. If the next key is a half step up, every note of every chord simply moves a half step up. However, if you’re trying to move to a new key 4 half steps up, then you need to move every note of every chord 4 half steps up. As long as you move the same distance for every note in every chord, the end result will be the same song in a new key.
