What key is it in? I want to do all that cool harmonic minor shit on the classical guitar like they do, but I'm having trouble hearing the key.

The cappoed key is C Major, the root is on the third fret, fifth string.

My first thought was B minor, which is the same thing as D major, but with harmonic minors it can be hard to hear the key correctly. I'm not sure.
