what an interesting, inside scoop, tidbit

was aware of the odd producer who would take the tape (pre-digital) speed up a wee notch for the same reason but that skewed tempo as well as pitch...toggling back and forth with drop D tunings live is enough of a burden, so no can't imagine tweaking all strings in and out of standard pitch...i suppose the pitch knob on back of the keys could have it's place in these instances...playing/tuning with this act sounds like an 'eternal hell' (lol, as GL would say), then again, he's got a guitar set up for each occasions..it's like carrying around a harmonic holster, i suppose
