@trevor_finally_learns_guitar I feel your pain with finding the key by ear, The best suggestion I have is listen to a lot of YouTube music or other manners of listening to music and just keep trying to identify the key by plunking on the low or high E. And then Google asking what key the song is in to see if correct. If not correct, then find the key through a Google search, and then try that note out while listening to the song again. You’ll probably hear the key in the song then. It’s all about training your brain to hear and identify. I found the songs used in the original Fretboard Wizard (I haven’t tried the new course to see what songs were used) to be difficult to listen to and find the key, because if all the distractions of other instruments. The key (play on words) is to find the key or chord that sounds good as a whole with the music, and that is probably the key then.
Keep at it, and you’ll eventually be versed in finding the key to most songs.
