I want to cover a certain song from a metal band. And when I searched for the key they use, a website said it's A# minor and another website said G mayor
However when I tried playing in both keys, they don't seem to match what I hear...
And there is no guarantee that they stick to the chosen key, some bands might like to change notes in their music notations, from sharps/flats to naturals.
If I just use my ears, I can guess the "correct" notes by heart. The notes I press sound like the original except I'm not sure if it's the correct key. And would it be a huge deal if I do covers not in the same exact key as the original?
