Re: Equinox Correct Key

Hi Petri,
> Some "standard" keys just don't fit so well on the
> guitar, especially if you want to do a chord melody thing.

Example: Naima works nicely if you play in Dm rather than the original
Ebm because you can get the 2 pedal notes on open strings (esp if you
tune the 6 string down to D)
OTOH I find Blue in Green sounds good in the original key (Dm/Gm) as
the open A and E can be worked into the chord melody harmonies.

>On the latest issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine, Earl Klugh talks
about this thing.

Hmm...,thanks, must check that out.

The points you make are quite valid; sorry I can't give you the definitive answer on this, maybe someone else can. It seems very strange to me that a sax...

Hi, I didn't get around to writing this before - Equinox is indeed in C#m originally. Or Dbm if you will. To me, realizing just how free Coltrane is when...

Hi Petri, Thanks, that seems to be the definitive answer. The link I posted to the Equinox chart previously is indeed in Dbm. Unusual, but then, Coltrane was...
