When I record a minor key keyboard solo in a song, I like to play the solo in C minor/C blues and then just transpose up or down as needed. I do this partially because I like the position of the black keys in Cmin (makes for good"slideability"), but also because I just feel more comfortable playing in that key. I feel like I've gotten more used to playing there that I can go to the moon and back easier than in other keys. Do you think I should probably do the smart thing and just get better and more comfortable going wild in all 12 keys, or should I just stick to what's easiest and what I'm best at?
you could probably survive ok, but learning other keys will be fun and useful
