When I play this lick... ----------5~------ -------6b8-------- ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ...the 6th fret is supposed to be in tune with the 5th on the string below. However, when I transpose that to... -----------------12~------ -------15b17------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- ...it is out of tune and it is driving me **** Any thoughts?

And btw, you haven't transposed it correctly, it should be 18b20 on B string and then 17 on high E if you are playing the same thing one octave higher. However transposing into another key is ok but then you should play 14 on high E, not 12. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You are in luck, there is a video tutorial here at GMC on exactly how to do it: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...uning-tutorial/ Cheers, Bogdan You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
