Anecdote: all of this Thread came to a head when I wanted to play Elton John's Someone Saved My Life Tonight. First I had to transpose the whole thing a 4th, and then, as my voice,..eh,...tried to fit the large range of the song (even in my "own" key), I had to shift the whole song even further,... to the point where I could sing half the song in one key, and half in another ??? :-\ ??? :-\ ??? :-\.

ACK!!! ::)


Well, we've all gone crazy lately, snyprr bear ...

I would love to talk more about this subject, but seriously, just thinking about those floating tones just makes me seasick.

However, last night I ran across The Waterboys' The Whole of the Moon (uh, the Mandy Moore cover, teehee!), and just loved the song, and went to play it, felt a little strained, played with the keys, and finally then was able to make it sound like I wrote the thing!

I'm one of those people who can really really fly,... unless something psyches me out, and then I'm toast. I've been much better since I put rules on myself (like always keeping the guitar at an "E" (not Eb or D)).

Someone once said "it" was all "pitch and copnfidence,...pitch and confidence."
