Thanks for sharing this, Wei! What a novel concept. You see, I used to be a professional musical entertainer and, minus special outfits, I would do Elvis impersonations when I would sing his music. Transposing certain Led Zeppelin songs into a key comparable with Elvis' vocal range would fit my vocal range as well.
Many months ago I put new strings on my exceedingly fine Takamine 12str guitar. They are Elixir strings, with a coating that makes them very resistant to corrosion. I've barely played the guitar since then, but I picked it up today and the strings are still like brand new. Fantastic! I used my new digital tuner and it made tuning the 12 string guitar a breeze. As soon as I started playing I automatically gravitated to my created version of When The Levee Breaks from Led Zeppelin IV. WOW! It sounded FANTASTIC!!! I was shocked at the concept of how it will sound recorded. This guitar has an excellent on-board graphic eq preamp so that I don't need a microphone to record it and I don't have to worry about any outside noises getting onto the recorded track. Last I remember that preamp is also exceedingly fine.
Now, thanks to Wei, I can consider creating new versions of certain classic Zeppelin tunes in the key of Elvis.
Awesome!
