Hello gibson3946, well i'll guess Em or Dm...let's see if that gets a response from someone with an 'ear'....

Thank you for the info.... after 30+ years on the road as a monitor engineer.... I am re-training my ears. I occasionally come across something that seems to fit numerous patterns.

I far as I can tell Southpaw is in the key of F.. C being the first chord then Bb, then F and then back to C. Hope this helps

How far off could i be? Boy do i have egg on my beginner face...not only did i not name a key, i wasn't even close with the chord choices....i have no ear !
Thanks magicwann and welcome to chordbook, also thanks for not pointing out my extreme error ! I need to remember that key names aren't always the names of chords !
Cheers,

I wouldn't have figured it out,, I just find a spot on the fret board and roll with it, but then again, it sounds like cats in a box when I play anyway.
being self taught is fine,,,, ,,as long as you do not have a dummy for a teacher.
