| May 21, 2015 at 15:19 | comment | added | amalgamate | Yes, I agree. I can do that on some days when my head is clear. If I learned something like NNS when I first started, I suspect that it would be like the back of my hand by now though. Alas, I can always pull out my capo, or work it out ahead of time. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 15:14 | comment | added | Tim | @amalgamate - it's certainly worth getting to grips with NNS, but more important, I think, is to be able to see or know a song in one key, and be able to play it straight in any other key. That's probably a more useful skill - I need it all the time depping or accompanying at open mic gigs. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 15:09 | comment | added | amalgamate | I am certainly a poor messenger here, as I have no experience with it, and am unlikely to ever bother, but I think it's worth learning something that is actually used by others even if it is flawed. There are times when I wish I did know it. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 15:01 | comment | added | Tim | @amalgamate - yes, except NNS can stray from the straight and narrow, and I find some bits are not as crystal clear as they should be, especially when hand-written. | |
