[JoeB]

What are the most common bluegrass keys in order of most used?

[Mark_Rocka]

My guess of an order would be:

G
A
D
C
Ab
Bb
B
Db
E
Eb
F
Gb

[Dave_Long]

Near as I remember what I run into:
A
B
G
Bb
D (more if fiddle tunes or older music)
F
C (more if female lead)
E

Hi Joe,

Might I suggest you focus on the most frequently used G, C & D Most of the other Key signatures can be worked around those keys with the aid of a capo.
