Default Re: earlier demo recording of Too Much To Lose

oh, i have on old thread to link to that has some great input by real musical folks

it's easier, imo, the fingers dont have to stretch so far across fret and it opens up all sorts of doors if you want to refine your vocal pitch without having to rework chord progressions and fingering...but some like the higher ring of a capo-ed guitar and it also brings alternate voicings for when you have two guitars blending

a voicing is like a different chord inversion...on simple piano you will hear a different ring to a chord because the highest note played usually resonates the most.... CEG versus EGC versus GCE versus something like CGC

it's also easier, or more natural, on guitar to play passing licks or chords in some keys...I play IYCRMM and SFAWN in A on guitar with no capo, but the segment of SFAWN with the 3 minor chords in row doesn't flow too well for me... then again, when I play in G with capo +2, there are also some flow issues, lol
