Hello @schmiderific
There is a lot of confusion now a days, especially among guitar players, about what a “key” is. People refer to the “key” of C major and the “key” of Am. Neither of those are a key. Since they are in the same key, they are 2 different names for the same thing. Obviously, this would lead to confusion. A “key” is the specific set of 7 notes. C major is in the key of “no sharps or flats” (no one ever came up with unique names for the keys, they just used the name for the major, or Ionian, mode of the key).
The reason I bring this up is because you have listed different keys. G major has 1 sharp. Therefore the next 2 lines would have to have only 1 sharp. We are simply using a trick to write out the chords within this key. But you must use the same set of notes, otherwise, you are going “out of key”, which is called “non-diatonic”.
