Hi there,
I have transposed two of my own songs from open g to open d. The problem is that it changes the songs. Too dark.
After going through the Tabpigs web page (thanks, Belapeace, i had totally forgotten about that web page) I found that A Virtuoso Is His Own Reward is in open d. This is one of my favorite Kottke pieces so I started learning this one. I would also like to play Watermelon and Echoing Gilewitz but both are played on 12-string.
Transposing Little Martha from open d to open g is a little more complicated than moving everything down a string. You are basically running out of strings.
