Do 80/20's sound better on these than phosphor bronze? What gauge?
I have a question for those of you who tune down. It sounds like it would be confusing playing in tune with others?
True in a way but it helps develop your transposing skills.Speaking as one of those others it is doable but it is a PITA. If you are not playing in concert pitch ('what you see is what you hear') then I have to transpose. So (if I have this right) when you are tuned down a step and play a G chord I have to do the mental math to know I need to play an F.
For me a capo is worse than transposing, simply because I have so much motor memory using scales that go all the way down to the first fret.A simple solution for being tuned down would be for you to use a capo when playing with others.
I'm sure you're talking about the "shape", for verbal shorthand.But it can be done as long as people realize that when you say you are playing a B minor seventh they will need to play something else.
It's much easier if you tune down a whole step.I have a question for those of you who tune down. It sounds like it would be confusing playing in tune with others?
But the better the "other guys" understand music theory the less of a hassle it is to adjust to a detuned or capo'd instrument. Even I can figure out but something you need to give me 10 minutes to do so before we can play.
