Now what are we going to talk about

What’s your favorite key to play in ?

 

[fretworn]

Yesterday… F# or D

 

[jellodog]

I really want to say Dm, the saddest of all keys.

But it’s Am. Not very rawk, I know.

Bb just like my bankroll

 

[FuzzyAce]

I tune to Eb mainly, so lately it would be Ab which comes and goes. Gb, F, Db, C or Bb I often gravitate to, major or minor.

Gmaj

Something magical about that open G string

So you’re wearing out your frets evenly

haha, I try! I had to edit my post above, forgot to adjust because of my tuning.

Back story on wearing out frets .
I’ve played guitar off and on since a teenager.
Saw Michael Schenker in a local theater, which inspired me to give it a go again .
Bought a Strat not a Flying V
Started working on some SRV type stuff.
With my gorilla grip I wore divots in the usual places doing “boomer bends” while playing e minor pentatonic style licks

Maybe it's me, but the older style frets seemed to wear out much, much quicker. Divots everywhere.
These days I've been using Dunlop 6000, Jescar Gold 58118, or 57110 sizes. Hardly get much fret wear anymore, even with the nickel dunlops.
My technique has changed, but still think the nickel frets have gotten better.

Frets in general ss, evo and nickel vary quite widely in hardness from different manufacturers. Stick with a good brand and even nickel will last quite well unless you have gorilla technique. I like stainless mostly because of the feel when bending strings. I don’t wear nickel frets out quickly.

As long as it’s minor, I’ll play less wrong notes.

Recently switched to a 7 string so B.
