I once met a classical guitar player who played in the key of D flat. When I asked why, he said he liked the "tember" of the key. He like those subtle tone combinations that result from useing a temper music scale. I will have to admit that some songs do sound better in certain keys.

Still, when jamming with a group, I consider it polite to stick with a key that is easiest for everyone. The middle ground for most instuments and voices are C, D, G and A. Capo's and tunings help with the rest.

Yea you right Jim. I've been rehearsing with my new Zydeco project at a centrally located studio in Midtown Manhattan once a week so it is a problem bringing lots of accordions. I have had to make do with just 2 singlenotes and 1 triple (which is still a lot to haul around) so I have been learning lots of keys. They do all have their own sound. I love playing out of the "D" position on a single row. You can get that plentatonic blues scale really nice on the pull.

Jim ~ if you're ever in the Tampa area, you're more than welcome to drop by and give it a try.

thats jim gotta have the balls without them its like trying to play basketball without the balls if you have the balls you can definently score. lol
