Do you have a favourite key?

G.

Yeah, you play a lot in G.

I can fingerpick really good in G. [Laughs] I can pick ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ in G. I can pick out just about anything I want in the key of G.

I’ve seen you play a lot in G but with a capo on.

I use the capo up and down the neck, and play in G quite a bit. I only get out of it out of sheer boredom.

Do you feel different keys have different colors or moods?

Yeah. Definitely. It makes a big difference. After I had my throat surgery, I had to drop the key on a lot of my older songs. I was still singing them in the same key I wrote them in. My voice had changed before the surgery. My voice was very nasal; my nose was a more comfortable place to sing out of than my throat. [Laughter]

But my voice dropped quite a bit, and some of my songs, to me, just blossomed in the new key. I got to actually enjoy them as if they were brand new. Which was a really amazing thing. I had no idea changing the key would make such a big difference.
