Building Chords and Scales VI

[lestalkmorebasss]

@ZooropaDweller -- If a song is in A and you wanna play it in D just tune your banjo to GDGBD (from the little weird string to the high string at the bottom). Transpose nothing... the fretboard is just math. You're the one doing the work. Hope that helps... try as many approaches you want to get the basic tone/sound and then adjust accordingly. I show you what I mean but I'm not there. Fretboards are actually extremely convenient but many players are not teachers...

Please help me about some scales and keys theory... I wonder: Are there some different keys for e.g. songs in D3 note and D2 note-starting scales?

I mean: If a song is in a key of "A", and I want to play and sing it much lower -in (lower) "D"... is this the same transpose as for higher "D"?

Answer me - please very much...

You could technically because you'd have the same chord structure so the overall theme is the same, however it probably won't feel right to you.  I think you'll probably feel better if you transpose all the chords so that the fundamental of the chord gets transposed and moves up or down like in the original that way the note retains a similar acoustical signal in terms of how the first and second chords relate to each other and the melody is roughly the same. but that's just mho.
