I`ve been travelling during the weekend and only just opened the thread up again.
Firstly the people who have made personal atacks, to them let me say I`ve reponded to Brucie`s offer to PM him and thank him for his kind offer.
I think some of the points of view confirm some of what I thought when asking the question - and has also helped me to think differently about the situation - so in my book that constitutes a interesting thread .
I think maybe I was familiar with the basics of transposing,but didn`t know it by that name.I don`t have a great deal of trouble changing from one key to another ,but when tunes get REALLY complicated in a Session - you`ll find me coughing politely,
put my guitar down and ambling to the bar !!.
I write songs with very limited success - don`t write the actual music but I remember the tunes in my head - along with the chords.
I just thought THAT was natural progression, but it appears by the thread I`m very wide of the mark , in, assuming everyone hears and plays the same way .For that assumption - I make my utmost apologies as it seems to have aroused some annoyance, however the constructive contributions from Jerry , C-Flat, McGrath, Martin G, M Ted ,Seaking, Ebbie, Cap`n Bob, Huw G and others confirm (to me),that it was an intersting question to ask, and have ironed-out some of my misconceptions.
Should there be a case for Mudcat requiring a Censor , Editor / Thought Controller I`m sure that Richard Bridge with his comments has thrown his hat firmly into the ring , should this vacancy ever ( hopefully never) arise.
