Very well played - and interesting with the fretless! Are you looking to play in just tuning vs even tempered tuning? I imagine playing chords is a little tricky!
@shellsj thanks mate!...yea some chords are impossible to play in tune so i avoid them...what do you mean just tuning vs even tempered tuning?...i am looking to experiment with different tunings. cheers
@gjbmusic - hey. Since 1850 or so pianos have increasingly been tuned with all the notes an equal interval apart. This approximation - sharpening the fifths and thirds as necessary. This is even tempered. Fretless instruments like violins and cellos (and now guitars!) don't have this problem because the musician can play the notes exactly in tune by ear, which is "Just Temperament" - I suppose because it's just right! So, you can tune and play harmonically, instead of by the Tuner.
How mcuh does one of the vigier fretless guitars cost?

I like that, and very scary playing! It fits very well with the backing. Very good.
