I know lots of chords but not keys. Where can I find something that will show me what chords to play in which keys? I just want to play songs at church. Don't want to be Eddie Van Halen or somebody similar. Any suggestions? The GW looks way too complicated for what I want.
I wrote to Guitar Wheel guys through my space & they were really cool. I just said that I thought this product really rocked.

The easiest way is like this. Say you have a 4 chord song C - Am - F - G. Take and write out the scale with numbers over them like this:
C D E F G A B
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Then take the key you want to transpose it to, say D, and do the same thing with it.
D E F G A B C
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Then match the numbers up. The song is 1 - 6m - 4 - 5. So transposed to D that would be D - Bm - G - A
And in E would be E - C#m - A - B. Just remeber the semitones between E-F and B-C.
Hope this helps.
