Wow, what can I say…
I think I’ve started something here…
The last few weeks, I’ve been trying out a new format
by taking really good questions from students and not only
answering them personally, but sending them to our entire
mailing list.
This has resulted in a lot of love — and even MORE
questions from dedicated students all around the world. I’ve
received at least a good couple hundred questions that could
easily keep me busy sending responses like this for years…
But here’s one that made the top of the list. I think
you’ll really be helped by my reply to Tyler. It’s long but
packed with details. About 5 lessons in one.
PRINT THIS OUT because it really is *that* important.

So this isn’t going to be easy but if you’re committed, you can learn to play in ALL 12 keys… not just one. I’ll lay out 2 ways to do it. One way, I learned about 16 years ago and still use at times. The other way is more involved, but will help your understanding of music a lot better…

To “transpose” a song, melody, chord, or progression is to play the same exact sequence of notes and intervals in another key.
