Ok I am currently working on Yardbird Suite with my yas62ii, the song is in the key of D as I have it, I am pretty sure the actual song starts at least several whole tones lower. I haven't done any transcribing since the early 80's and I am a little unsure how to proceed in dropping the song to where I would like it.
If I drop the starting note which is high D and everything that follows by one whole note, how does the key change and how do I facilitate that change.
Song as I have it
D A B | C Bb F G A | A A F# First line
C G A | Bb G# D# F G | G G E Revised first line dropping one whole tone
Ok how would the above change in the song affect the key that is my basic question. If I change the song 2 whole tones how will that affect the key, if I change it 4.5 whole tones, etc..
I will have some more questions concerning transposing between keys but for right now I am doing ok with that. Thanks in advance for any help.
