Hi MAtt,
Now I know I`m making myself a complete idiot.
Even as a studied jazz guitarist I never understood the transposing stuff (and never dared to ask my fellow musicians .
Of course I know how the instruments are transposed and in my compositions I have no problem transposing for the horns.

But, the hell, WHY are some instruments transposed???
I mean: You guys learn from the beginning that if you put your fingers this or that way its a "D", but in real life (concert pitch) it`s a C. So why not learn it as what it is.

Please enlighten an idiotic guitarist like me
