I sometimes sub with a Bluegrass band. The key they use the most is B. I asked Why B? The reason was the banjo player bought a capo that would not work in the C position. I don't own or use a capo but it was no problem I just made some notes on the cheat sheets they provided the night before the gig, they were all noted for G or C anyway.
