    What keys do you play in?

    Numbers system. Learned it in the studio decades ago. Doesnt matter what key (or root) chord your in. There 7 (or 8 if u count the octave) tones in the major scale. Each one of those tones represents a possible chord in the root. If we're in the key of "G" then G= the 1 chord, C or the fourth...

    fearful 15/6 vs lds 15/6

    So the general consensus i am hearing is that the fearful design may be able to do higher volume better, although the lds design (round ports) owners have no complaints. Additionally, if i understand Kjung correctly the lds round port design is not a set in stone design. More over, a basic...
