not many in B: the Wreck is in key of B and Gord uses capo +2 and plays in A

but most of the time he has capo +2 playing in G, which takes him to key of A

Or he plays capo +2 in D, which takes him to E OR plays C, taking him to D


if he played, as you say, in key of B then he might typically have to play and transition to chords such as F# G#m C#m D#m (yuck) on guitar ...E is no sweat

instead he can play common and 'close knit' chords like G C D Am Bm Em

char, maybe this video will show you the diff in moving from key of A to Bb
