Haha, good to know! Just wanted to be sure I wan’t cluttering a space unintentionally! 🎸
That has a good groove to it. Could sit in a bar sipping whiskey or martinis to that. What do you find this tuning enables over old standard?
Hey thanks! As for what it enables, it definitely allows for wider voicings to be under your fingers, and the tuning is more consistent until the highest string, so thinking across string groups is easier. A lot of your familiar patterns will sound interestingly shifted, and it makes you think about phrasing pretty differently.
What you lose is some of the familiar, honky, close-together sounds of the guitar we’ve all grown up with. Playing a major or minor second (as opposed to a ninth) is pretty brutal.
All in all, I’ve found it a useful way to expand musically, but it’s not a perfect experience, which is kinda what Fripp was going for when he developed it. There are absolutely some gorgeous chord voicings that I don’t ever wanna lose (kinda like the first time you ever slid an open C shape up a wholestep).
very nice, I love those big intervals
Thanks! Yeah, it's a really provocative element of the tuning. I'm still wrapping my head around phrasing with the leaps that are right under the fingers.
That there was some really nice laid back phrasing
Hey thanks! I appreciate it!
Great vibes man
Thanks dude!
