Though I can point out many positives for a variety of keys in which to play, I'd have to say that F minor or F# minor are favorites for me.
Aside from the overall tones, it's the access to the fretboard that I like best.
In F minor for example, The bottom end starts with a full box (unlike Em which is basically Nut-3rd fret, Nut 2nd fret, etc.) and from there I can go through all five box shapes before the 12th fret and I can even reach up into the dusty end of the fretboard and access relevant frets and strings without needing Jimi's fingers.
So overall, I think F minor/F#minor is possibly the most useful key in which to play (plus they're often used Funk keys and I love me some funk).
So what are your favorite keys?
