Actually I'm hoping to get back to music and away from the world of politics for awhile.

When arranging songs for a group with a couple of guitars and a banjo and a fiddle I try to have the two guitars play in the same key but one guitar capoed elswhere.

"G" in the usual place and a capo at 7 playing "C" shapes for intsance. It gives a nice dynamic and a fuller sounding chord when both are strummed together.

Do others do this with their arrangements? I assume so bu you never know. The reviled as much as loved Kingston Trio used to have the tenor guitar capoed way up to get different sounds in the instrument mix.

Has anyones group ever tried playing three instruments, one playing a "C" chord, one an "E" chord, and the other a "G" chord with the whole sound created being a massive "C" chord. Probably not.

Sorry for the ramble

Don
