The key of a song is a basic blueprint of the correct notes and chords to play that are a part of that scale. So there are 12 Major scales and 12 minor scales — resulting in 24 basic scales that most music is built around. A measure on how likely it is the track has been recorded in front of a live audience instead of in a studio.
This is measured by detecting the presence of an audience in the track. Values over 80% suggest that the track was most definitely performed in front of a live audience. D Major is also the mixolydian mode based on the fifth step in G major. The major scale and the mixolydian modes are very close relatives — with only a one half-step difference for the seventh note of those scales. Since the first chord of the song is a D Major , to some it “feels” like that is the key of the song. A measure how positive, happy or cheerful track is.
Sweet Home Alabama
I was on another forum today, and they have a huge 20 plus page thread/battle going about this song. D C G Big wheels keep on turning,D C G carry me home to see my kinD C G singing songs about the southland.D C G I miss ole bamy once again and I think it's a sin. First number is minutes, second number is seconds. Or you could just learn it from the actual recording and play it right.
But...that Gmaj pentatonic played over it is how it sounds most like the recorded solo . No doubt there's a million possibilities if you want to improvise. I agree with all of you so far as to say the song is amiguish in it's tonality. Looking at the chords D, C and G one thinks right away of the key of G doing a V IV I patteren. As Ocean said, you could look at it in D as a I bVII IV progession. It easily resolves to G when the F C G accents hit during the second verse.

Average loudness of the track in decibels . Values typically are between -60 and 0 decibels. Tracks are rarely above -4 db and usually are around -4 to -9 db. In the big picture, it really doesn’t matter what you’ve determined the key of the song to be. The tritone I first spoke of is from 4th to major 7th.

Resolves?
At least not on the original recording. Fade-outs were a very popular method of ending songs in the earlier days of rock-n’-roll, and Lynyrd Skynyrd employed this option in its early 70’s studio recording. Where the song comes to an end and feels complete. It’s the musical ending that give the listener a sense of closure.
So here we’ll break this down and look at all of the facts. I think Ocean pretty much hit it right on the head (great way of explaining it by the way!). I really think the thing that throws alot of people is "watching" others play the solo. Like I said over simplified but a very cool melodic solo that living in Jacksonville, FL I have heard way to many times.
Tempo of the track in beats per minute. If the track has multiple BPM's this won't be reflected as only one BPM figure will show. So pretty much, all the theory guys say that the song is in D, and all of the feel, play by ear types , say the song is in G. A measure on how likely the track does not contain any vocals. Values over 50% indicate an instrumental track, values near 0% indicate there are lyrics.
In fact, most casual listeners can “name that tune” within the first two quarter notes. It also starts on the “one,” or the first beat of the song, and lands there everytime throughout. As most songs (more than 50%) end on the tonic, most also end on the one. Well, I finally got around to playing it a little today , and there is no doubt to my ears that it resolves to a D.
D mixolydian is a D scale that happens to share the same key sig. A measure on the presence of spoken words. Values below 33% suggest it is just music, values between 33% and 66% suggest both music and speech , values above 66% suggest there is only spoken word . As a general rule the key is also the tonic, or root of the song. Often times the first note and last note of a song will be the same as the key.
Values near 0% suggest a sad or angry track, where values near 100% suggest a happy and cheerful track. D mixolydian mode is the key signature of G...same notes, different starting and different resolves. Different methods of nomenclature from the history. Churches could take something simple and make a mess out of...oops, never mind. The big fight is about what key is this song in...D or G? Apparently, Ed King said the solo came to him in a dream the night before recording it, and he played the whole thing thru in one take.
