TOPIC: Modulating to A - Amazing Grace

Seems like my group yesterday tasked with modulating from G to A for Amazing Grace pretty much had a meltdown and exhibited a joint panic attack.

For the backup it should be pretty easy at least on the banjo by shifting up 2 frets and playing as normal.

For the lead I was attempting to play a roll out of the modulated chords (moved up a full step). Not always successful but the correct notes are theoretcially their and most are the 1-3-5 of the mamajor chord

Any other ideas???

I learned today that the "lead" could've used a capo to play their lead...everyone else should have "modulated".....what a relief!!! I can do the chords....but was panicking at the thought of having to learn new leads for everything....although this IS recommended....maybe in my next life?????

Isn't capoeing half way through a song fround upon???

I was told that the first lead guitar could've been capoed...ready to take lead....who would frown at us?????

Actually .. you were advised that a guitar who would not play the rhythm in the first key could have then play capoed to the modulated key.

Again, my brain is still full.....that's what I thought I was saying......but you better explain it to everyone in class Wednesday Night ...... I do not want to start a confusion....
