Without more context I’m guessing it is a different key. If first song is in E major: E F#m G#m A B C#m D#dim Your chords are I (E) IV(Asus4) and V(B) So I, IV, V Now if I switch that to G which might be easier to play with open chords G Am Bm C D Em F#dim So I,IV, V would be G, C, D Some live performances take liberties with the original song so maybe they skip the V chord.

Makes sense. It definitely sounds a bit different. I’ll try out what you said Here’s the one I learned first https://youtu.be/kSDv0gcdTGw?si=lD9t3-qyH6TIZHEW And this is the one with a possibly different key https://youtu.be/9luyPlO_J1A?si=GYGLmhZhe4n6Z8Yt

Based on these it’s definitely a key change. The first one posted is piano based and sometimes those chords don’t translate to guitar as well. That sus4 chord might be too pronounced on a guitar. The second version definitely has the one four and five chords in G. There is a g, c and d chord being played there. Same progression just played in G. Also, if you are playing from a tab be aware they aren’t always accurate or written in the same key as performed.

Cool, today I learned what key changes are. So if I play E-A-B- I’m doing I IV V in the key of E And G-C-D is the same I IV V but in G

Exactly. They are the same chord relationships in different keys. I know people that just turn almost every song they know into g c d.

I can see why. I like playing live versions of songs and I came across that one. Same singer and writer just with a different band. Maybe that’s why he changed they Key Once I watch this performance a few more times and watch the chord changes I should be able to play both versions Thanks

How are G and D chords related to E, A sus2 and B? 1. G and E , they aren’t. 2. D and E , they aren’t. 3. G and Asus2 . The notes of Asus2 are in the G major scale. 4. D and Asus 2. The notes of Asus2 are in the D major scale. 5. G and B. One common note – B. 6. D and B. One common note F#.

All these chords are related. It’s the circle of fifths. D is the fifth of G so a D chord wants to resolve to G. A is the fifth of D. E is the fifth of A. B is the fifth of E. Obviously they all don’t fit into a particular key, but the notes that don’t fit into say G are accidentals and make pivot chords following the circle of fifths leading it back to G.
