while I was looking up thinks about "classical" or "Baroque" tunings I ran into this article and thought it was a cool read so I thought I would share it with my fellow fretters so we could gain a little insight into how our minds "see" things about our music.

The most interesting statement is the claim that absolute pitch might be a detriment to musicians. The reasoning is that transposition is an important ability. I don't know if I believe that, but it is an intriguing claim.

I read a couple of paragraphs and couldn't understand why I found it interesting.

Then I looked in the mirror.
