Now days its either Am/C , Dm or Bm/D Natural Minor and Pentatonic and I like twiddlin' on Harmonic Minor and diminished scales.
For playing more blues-rock twiddles, I'm liking the A Major Pentatonic in the F# Minor position with the F# melodic minor notes spinkled in for extra twiddliness.

Re: Your favourite key for twiddling
don't really have any favourites, usually gravitate towards E,A and D for any fingerpicking stuff for obvious reasons.. but other than that I tend to treat all keys equally 
except for Bb and Eb. They can fuck right off.

Re: Your favourite key for twiddling
Em has previously been the key I'd go to most often, but more recently I'm all over the show, depending on how I'm feeling, given how different keys feel to me. Most common are probably A, Bb, C, and D. Generally minor, but Bb tends to get a bunch of blue and major 3rds thrown in as well.

Re: Your favourite key for twiddling
