How do I change the key of a song without changing the speed?
The answer
Use a pitch changer that keeps the tempo, like the free one below: choose the song, move the key slider up or down in semitones (−2 is two frets lower), then download the result as MP3 or WAV. The speed stays the same.

Questions
What is the difference between pitch and key?
