i just dont' get it. someone please explain it to me. there are like 4 songs that dave plays in B. you MAY be able to find 4 more. so now you have a guitar, restrung w/ light ass strings, just so you can tune up to B to play a song that you can play in standard w/ or w/o a capo. im not trying to be mean, im not trying to be a pain in the ass, i just don't get it. i really really don't. please someone explain it to me.

i have a guitar that i keep tuned up to A. and i know all the chords in that position and can play solos higher up and easier in certain keys. in Raised B you can play all types of songs written in D using G type chord shapes. so there are ways to use this guitar than just 4 dave songs.
