Subject: RE: Changing Keys in Middle Song: Best way?
Ya say ya wanta change keys in the middle of a song???

Like why???

Nevermind...

Okay, it can be done but it;s like makin' love to a grilla, gonna be on it's terms...

Now I ain't into the technical stuff to much but here's my suggestiion: use a break...

I mean, like yer gonn ahve to put some music in between the two keys... I do it on a few songs... Couldn't tell ya' what I'm doin' sinbce I play everythin by ear, but I know it takes some work to get from one key to another within a song...

Takes a "song-within-a-song" to pull it off as you do the shift...

The new key is gonna come off a down beat 'er an up beat and a little sellin'...

But, why???

If the song stands alone fine in one key, why change??? Other than the fact that you can (with work)???
