RE: [Harp-L] Stevie Wonder Fragile Which Chromo?

[Buck Worley <boogalloo@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Winslow,
I stand corrected on the key F#. I realize now that I had a "brain bubble" on that. First fret (E string) on the guitar = F.
I read a thing or two regarding his pitch shift up or down. Thanks for confirming that.
Regards,Buck

Every now and then he will pitch-shift the tape up or down a semitone, as he did with Chakha Khan's "I Feel For You" (Tune is is in F# major, he downshifted the pitch to record it playing in F) or his own "Do I Do" (comes out in B major but played in Bb).
