[Harp-L] re: tuning

[rainbowjimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just a note that jazz and classical music are not the only genres that modulate
to other keys. Pop tunes frequently modulate to the bridge. It would be
difficult to retune a guitar everytime you take it to the bridge. Then there's
the whole stretch tuning issue with pianos.

Taking it to the bridge is an excellent reason to learn 1st position. Play a
rock and roll riff in second position, modulate up so the dominant chord is now
the tonic chord and play first position. And yes you can add a bridge to a blues
song.
