OK..One more time.... "G!! Don't B flat, B sharp, but B natural, C?"

Guest,999: "In terms of interpretation, musicians are as likely to reinterpret stuff they have heard as they are to reinterpret stuff they have read."

More as likely??....Well speak for yourself! Some of us write our own, from somewhere else. Interpret: ORIGINAL music!...

Sometimes, 'interpretation' comes from inside your heart and mind, to the instrument, itself...a 'twist of a phrase' or 'musical surprise'. Perhaps a little homework, and learning the instrument, and music, may open those doors.

Razor: "If someone tunes an instrument 15 or 20 cents low or hi, and it makes no difference...."

Try 440 for 'A', and catch up with the rest of the world. If you can't get it, buy a tuner!

Like we used to say in the studio, (and still do), "You can ALWAYS tell a purist..They're ALWAYS out of tune!!!"....Buy a capo, if you can't grab the bar chords. ..jeez!..then learn to play without one, if you can.......................OR.........play Indian music, they use 'quarter tones'.

I can't believe, that even this subject, calls for an Mudcat argument!
