If I'm doing the mathematics right, increasing the speed by 20% would raise the pitch by about two and a half tones. In guitar terms, the equivalent of putting the capo on the fifth fret. Does this mean that 'Kind Hearted Woman', (in the key of A, if my memory is correct) was actually played in E? I don't really believe it.
