| Oct 19, 2016 at 12:56 | comment | added | Tim | Did you put the capo on the 7th string or the 7th fret? | |
| Sep 15, 2014 at 20:14 | comment | added | christopher | +1 because capo on the seventh fret makes an open C Major sound like a choir of angels. | |
| Sep 22, 2011 at 13:43 | comment | added | slim | @MikeD that's correct in an ideal world, but due to pesky real-world physics issues, it's approximate. Google the Railsback Curve, for pianos. I gather that guitars have a similar issue. | |
| Sep 21, 2011 at 19:57 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | I've been working with a mandolin plater lately, so we tend to end up using the keys of G and D fairly often. I'm told those are easy on mandolin. | |
| Sep 21, 2011 at 16:04 | comment | added | MikeD | I only tend to disagree on "difference between C/G and D/A" in the case of tempered tunig as I asumed in my question; there is no difference, not even a subtile, it's a plain geometric sequence determined by the twelfth root of 2 and the relation between intervals is the same | |
