JPF Home Page Forums Musician Gear and Techniques Music Theory and Education Key Bias?

I'll cast my vote for the Shubb, but haven't tried the Glider.

As for keys...I can't offer any insight re. session work, but a couple of comments on a live jam setting...

As a vocalist, it's vital for me to know what key(s) I favor for a certain song, and also to know how far I can vary from those keys. If I'm in a jam situation with a sax player or harp player and the key I call isn't good for them, it only takes a few seconds to find out what is better, and what will work for everyone who's playing, and adjust accordingly. Making the music happen is what's important. I've seen some vocalists who won't vary by as much as a half step and then insist the band do what they want--pretty rude, and a NON team player, if you ask me.

BTW I do "Summertime" in D minor, too.
