The song is in the key of Gm.

well, yea, there is that. this has been one of those days where up is down and down is up. right from the start i heard it as E phrygian (which was really D phrygian), and i can't get past that. and instead of taking my time, i'm just carelessly racing along.
thanks for your patience. |

(I did have to fire up Transcribe and double-check each note in isolation - I never like to argue with someone as knowledgeable as yourself without some very strong ground...) |

But once the song gets under way, G (minor) is the clear key centre. They just opened with a little riff on the dominant. (Meaning the dominant note, btw, not a dominant chord or scale.) |

of each note, those being d, d#, and e. Start the song and keep clicking the play button right at the third note to get it to loop.

I would have expected G# too, but I don't hear it. My Transcribe software shows no peak on G# on that chord (either time), but does show a low one on G natural - even though I don't really hear that myself either. (I'm talking shapes of course, not sounds! If you're confused, I tuned the track up a whole step to listen on the software, because that's quicker than tuning my guitar down!) As I said, the case for G natural is its presence on the intro, as if they're only thinking of the natural minor scale - and then its chords (all minor). But the case for G# is it would enhance the "Spanish" effect of the song. (and they should have done it on the intro too in that case, which sounds like an attempt at a classic "flamenco" flourish.) |

(You sound a little like that guy who was convinced his digital metronome was slowing down.... Er, that guy was me, btw . Sometimes our ears play dirty tricks on us.) Unfortunately, there's no easy way of me posting a clip of the slowed down track to prove it. Or of posting one of me playing the notes you think it is (at the right tempo) to show you it sounds different. (I have just triple-checked it, btw) |

"Amazing" and "I tried", is how I feel too... I have to say you're at a disadvantage if you're trusting your ears at normal speed. Ears can be mistaken, sometimes. If everyone agrees with you, you're on safe ground. But when you face disagreement, you need to double-check... with emotion-free technical assistance if possible .

In case there are doubts. Those are the opening notes of the intro multiplied in audacity.

Agree with Jon on this - when playing over a minor chord starting from the 5th in the scale, it creates a tension relative to the root and suggests resolution. The notes in the Gmin chord and the D7 are the same, and it creates a beautiful light and shade effect - so much of Wes Montgomery's brilliant single line playing followed this principle.
