I can play guitar in any key for the most part. This came up while looking at some piano instructional videos.

What I was doing was sight reading the piano sheet music and playing that on guitar. One of the songs was Clair De Lune in Db and written in 9/8 time (Claude Debussy wrote it in 5/4). The melody is pretty easy to play by ear, but having to sight-read in five flats was not at all easy for me.

That got me to wondering why write in those keys to began with. The vocalist issue is typical. Perhaps Db provides a better fingering position on the piano.

Perhaps some piano player here will speak to the issue.
