Classical guitar parts make use of open string pedal points (Romanza being a popular example). Jazz musicians would be foolish to eschew the opportunities offered by open strings. Folk and blues musicians built parts around open strings since before rock existed. Rock guitarists learn movable scales just like jazz guitarists do. Anyone can buy a capo ;) | |

I answered one of his questions thoroughly and in-depth, and somebody voted me down! First, an editor should structure the question better or split it into multiple questions, and second, I don't see why my answer deserved a "down" vote. | |
