i think it's often limitations that give us the greatest leaps of learning. my celtic harp is limiting by only having 7 strings per octave. my dulcimer is limiting because there are only 4 notes at my disposal at any given time. my piano is limiting because it doesn't fit into my car. my voice is limiting because i can't sing harmony with myself. my DADGAD tuning is limiting when i want to sing in C.

but finding and exploring the options within the given limitations is so very exciting.

my guitar hero, don ross, plays guitar in over 110 tunings. he knows them all by name, and retunes in and out of them very quickly. if you are able to give him a listen, i promise amazement....
