> if you have trouble remembering how a knight moves, you can't be that good at Chess anyway.

Non sequitur.

It’s also still a valid question. I play the scales really well on the guitar. And because the frets are all laid out straight, shifting up by one fret means I’m just playing my chords and scales sharp. It makes transposing music incredibly easy.

I still don’t understand why the piano can’t be laid out like that.



Guitar still has the problem of last 2 strings being shifted 1 semitone down for ergonomics reasons, which makes them irregular. But yeah, it's better than piano keyboard.
