Silimtao,

Thanks for your response. I agree that these are vital issues to ponder and I am glad you brought them up. I am, however, sorry to anyone who has gotten distracted by our interaction.

Your statements are well put and I actually do agree with you that there are not any true absolutes in music. Like you said, "Why is concert pitch A-440?" Surprisingly, the global standardization of pitch did not occur until well into the 20th Century. For centuries, concert pitch varied from style to style and country to country which sort of proves your point -- all musical knowledge is relative to your acceptance of musical laws that human beings have created.

I really hope you enjoy your return guitar playing. Although you may think your mind is a bit rusty, the knowledge still exists. Please drop me a PM or email if you make any recordings or videos. I would love to check out your stuff.

Take care!
RH
