I've encountered this quite a few times now with different Youtube videos. Not just with this video.

I thought I'd see what key he was playing in with the tune at 07:50. The audio is indicating key of F#. That couldn't be right so I slowed it down to see where his fingers were landing. Sure enough....key of F (at 08:05 frame).

Now the odd thing is Jalousie at 06:30 he's doing in C and the pitch sounds like C!

Then....at the frame at 09:30 you can see he's playing in the Key of C but it's coming out as key of D.

Why does this happen with a lot of Youtube videos?

Or he has saved a key change in the registration.

Good thought,but it is not consistent throughout.

Or they changed the key so YouTube wouldn't be able to track the songs played.

That doesn't fool YouTube. I made a video from a Karaoke file for my friends to practice to, and posted it privately to my own YouTube account. I used my BK and transposed it two half-steps down. YouTube still immediately flagged it as Copyrighted material.

They didn't ask me to take it down (because if it's private, i guess I'm within the doctrine of Fair Use.) But they did say it couldn't be monetized. Bottom line, changing the key, at least for a realistic rendition of a song, doesn't fool YouTube's copyright detection.
