ahhh...but transcription is not 'simply transcription' if the 'new' key
allows for an open string to be included in a scale/run/lick...an open string
does not require fingering and can allow xtra time to move through a more
demanding configuration of notes; it can be both a time-saver and an
energy-saver. in many cases it greatly simplifies the playing of certain
things. the converse is true as well...take a riff w/lots of open E's...the
main riff in tom petty's 'runnin' down a dream', for ex...it can be
transposed to any key and probably played reasonably well anywhere; but it;s
a heckuva lot easier with that open E (and an open string just sounds
different than a fingered equivalent).

 and _this_ is where physical playing of the instrument meets the music
itself.

someone told me once the E can be played on guitar in eleven places.

'silver machine' starting in G.

the speed/pitch subtleties and blatantcies of cassette machines _already_
bugs the heck out of me.
