There is no easy answer to that question. There is a lot to understand keys....major keys, minor keys, modes. So the first thing that you want to do is learn as much about music theory as possible. Read all of the theory lessons on this site, and search for other sources to learn from.

As far as learning all of the notes in every key......start to look at the scale section. Also of utmost importance is learning the names of the notes on the neck of the guitar. Check out the lesson below.

It is a one step at a time process. I will give you a basic idea to help you get started writing a song in your other post on the same topic.
