Thanks... I would need to break out the capo and play with it, because all I recall it doing is make the pitch higher the higher up you place it. Putting the capo on the first fret is equal go tuning all 6 strings up a whole step. I don't really care what note it is, it's all relative. It isn't that simple?
Thanks for explaining the circle of fifths, but I don't think I know enough to even understand that! I didn't even know what a perfect fifth was until you said it was 7 semitones, LoL. I do appreciate you trying to explain this stuff - I've been playing and writing original music for >40 years and haven't ever used any theory, and thinking of music in terms of these strange rules is really quite alien to me. It's like being a cook who knows how to use spices and how to cook, suddenly seeing the ingredients described in terms of the chemical elements they're composed of. It's frustrating, but also interesting.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
