Zenitram Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 F is the kind of note that will be very polite and charming when it arrives, and you're delighted it's there, but later, when it's gone, you realise all your silver cutlery is missing. You can tell C sharp has been around when your bins have been overturned and your dog's pregnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 E smells funny. B has a foreign accent. D sharp is snobby and looks down on you. And hates your kids. G flat crossdresses. And not in a good way, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Double-sharps really get up my nose, they're always trying to get above their station. Deflated, sagging double-flats, on the other hand, I just feel sorry for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I never play ghost notes in the dark. They frighten me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1422440764' post='2672567'] If you have an adversion to F and Bb etc I guess you don't play with horns much..??

tauzero Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1422442034' post='2672599'] I love watching keyboard players squirm playing numbers in C# and even F#.

seashell Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I like a nice open E. And I like a nice open D, played as a drone under notes on the G string. Or a detuned D as a drone under the A string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Really gone off playing in A major, despite many hundreds of great tunes in that key. Another fan of F#, a nice purpley key and Ab, green with a silver edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It wouldn't be to me...and I don't have a preference to any key. I do like a sax in the band, but it can be hard to justify the work AND cost a horn section of even a sax can be, for what they bring to the band. But if you do jazz gigs, you are certainly going to get horn keys thrown at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The first band I played in was a Glenn Miller tribute band (I played rhythm guitar). That was very much at the start of my musical career (if you can call it that), when I couldn't even play 6-string barre chords. Transposing instruments - just say no (except when they're a keyboard and you want to play without the black keys, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
