What does 7b/f means?

Well, pay attention to what's after the slash only. The key of C is strongly related to that of Am. Both contain the same notes: all white keys. That's what the code before the slash stands for.

I'd also say this song is simply in C.

Yeah, it's in C. Practically the same chord progression as Streets of London for the verse. Which is really just a variation on the Pachelbel chord progression.

Wow, how do you learn such advanced music theory (at least in my eyes)
I'm aware of that, it takes time to learn something, but i feel like i'm not doing enough research.
Do you guys got musical classes or self taught?

I'm self-taught and a late starter. I've done a lot of reading though - both theory and history of music.

I started aged ten with a guitar my dad found in the garbage, and someone gave me a piece of paper with the chords of House of the Rising Sun. Played along with anything on the radio...
Then had some basic music lessons for an hour a week some years. Just enough theory to get by. I was taught to read staff notes, but I found it easier copying what my classmates were playing.
But how C and Am are related, how F C and G are related, I consider that basic knowledge.

Hmm.. i guess we are on the same page. Well almost on the same page.
Maybe i am not investing enough time in music and/or i just focus on the other aspects of music.
I should probably be more patient and learn more about the theory of music.

But anyways, thanks guys for helping!

I think /f part means that bass not is F.
It is not the key of a song. Key can only be one note: C,D,G...

Try reading the thread first. It's a code used by one specific website for DJ/mashup mixing.
