So the song has 4 sharps but they are GACD and everything else is natural... I feel like this is a stupid question but I can't figure this out

Ab/Fminor


Think of them as flats rather than sharps: Ab, Bb, Db, Eb

Captaincranky

Those are actually flats from the notes above them.

derek8520 is correct about the key being Ab.

So those notes would be named: Ab, Bb, Eb, Db

The key of G# major would be the enharmonic equivalent of Ab. Composers avoid that key signature, as it contains a double sharp. (All notes are sharp in the key, and the F is a double sharp...( F##). The 4 flats of Ab are simply easier to write.

I'm told the only time G# is written, is for use with instruments that require key transposition.

G# would be G#, A#, B# ( actually C), C#, D#, E# (actually F), F## (actually G), G#

:-D
