I'm just throwing this out for something new to discuss. Lately I've been changing the keys of songs that I find to the key of C. Not all, but most songs work better for me in the key of C, so I found a couple of songs in the key of G, and they were pretty simple chord progressions, and so I just played them in the key of C instead. So I got pretty good at doing that on the fly, being too lazy to get up and pencil it out. But as I have been doing that more and more, I'm getting pretty good at it. I've also branched out, changing songs from the key of F and D to other keys too, and not always to the key of C. I have taken to playing new songs in several keys, looking for the key that sounds best, is easiest to play, and goes best with my voice. So that has been fun, and has really made some theory much clearer to me. It is something that I gave little thought to for a long time, but that lately I've found to be very handy.
