Thread Name: The tyranny of D and G at sessions
Subject: RE: The tyranny of D and G at sessions
This is always a source of culture shock when I go to Whitby. Even A is seen as something foreign and exotic. And there is a gruesome English way of doing the Bluebell Polka that simply leaves out the section in C, screwing up the whole point of tunes like that (they typically have a key progression that goe I-V-I-IV-I).

Come to think of it, I can play the Bluebell a tone down as well, giving a sequence F-C-F-Bb-F-G-D-G-C-G. There are guitarists up here who can follow that.
