Yes.

I do several songs in F# - they suit (insofar as anything does) my voice and the guitar there, and I frequently get asked if I can't do them in "G" which is a vocal strain and results in a particular repeated chord getting missed a lot because the heel of the guitar is in the way.

But of course usually they wait until you are starting the song or the intro to it and go off hell for leather on the banjo in G (or D it it's a tenor) whatever key you are in.

I (mostly) don't care how loud they play so long as they play it with me and not against me. I'd rather they joined in, I'm not a prima donna (much)
