You can always tune a guitar to Eb or D and switch during your show. That way fingers don't change only the apparent key! :o)
Seriously, consider writing songs or transposing them to keys like Bb or G.

Yes, my guess is a lot of guitarists started out with piano lessons, and thus 'C' is the goto key to play things, Am being it's relative minor is the same thing. —Danny Snyder I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

Capo it up so you can play the same positions in different keys. It gets interesting when two guitar players are playing together in different capo's positions, getting different open string possibilities. |
