Hi. I am just now getting a grip on playing in different keys. Some of the free lessons that you offer on scales and string/finger exercises have really helped here. I have avoided these things in the past – because I foolishly could not see the value. In reality, these really help my ear PLUS my hands.
The question that I have is really about songs like This Little Light…
For whatever reason, I have not really considered these capo up to A or B songs to be in a different key – because the positions are the same as G.What I want to know (finally getting around to the question) is why choose A?
In a jam setting, I know that I may need to play whatever key is chosen. But are there other reasons as well? Position, tone, experience, tradition, common vocal?Anyway, thanks for those scale lessons. They are the greatest!

I think this is a great arrangement of “This Little Light of Mine.”
The first part is in every inch a ‘beginner’ level banjo part. However,
The second part, which carries the melody beautifully in an upper octave,
really belongs in the “intermediate” category, I think. So I would
call it beginner/intermediate arrangement. Whatever, you call it, I think
it sounds great! Especially when played by Mike Hedding! -
