Awesome playing and sound! ..I've experimented with the same type of 1/4 tone tuning on an acoustic and many other microtonal experiments with altered fret boards as well. I think I might have to try something similar to this tuning on electric.
This is exceptional - Please tell me how you tuned your guitar like this? I know you mentioned the tuning earlier, but i would like to know exactly how you did it!
Hey...I 1q2w33e...I've just started to build my own guitar and decided that I wanted to make it fretless (microtonal). I just wanted to know how one becomes a good microtonal musican. It seems like such a cosmic concept, I just don't know where to begin.
On a fretless guitar or bass, start by playing a drone string and try to play "in tune" with the harmonics on that string, like you were playing a slow raga. This is a good exercise to get your ears tuned to a very natural microtonal tuning. After that, try something like 19 tones per octave. You can get guitar necks fretted that way, and you can play diatonic music, but with a lot of extra notes not available in 12, but you can still play familiar things like major and minor chords and scales.
I've got one question about guitar tunning, for what i understood you tune your guitar like this: E, A(-25cent), D(-50cent), G(-75cent), B(-100cent=Is this one semitone?), e(-125cent), am I right? If I'm wrong can you help me telling me how did you tune your guitar? And to get a good tunning did you used any kind of software to tune that? or midi detuned and using ear? :p
Hello, and thank you for taking interest in my work! Microtonal guitar music and tunings have always been sort of this big mysterious thing whereby you need an altered guitar neck or scale to play microtones. With my tuning, you can play microtonal intervals!!! Also, I made a mistake in informing one of the commenters about my tuning, the B is detuned 125 cent, then the high is is tuned 150 cents. I could not find any software to tune it like this, so its up to your ear. Good Luck!
Hey cool i liike it im Shonna from habbo Jordans friend :P tell him i said hi you are very complicated like e squared equals the matter theory ,,,anyways Good job
Cool piece, and cool guitar. Is this piece microtonal? Looks like the frets are the usual 12 per octave. Did you mean chromatic? I like the piece, I'm just confused...
Thank you for the compliment, and to answer your question about the tuning, yes, it is a microtonal piece. The tuning is such that every string is tuned 25 cents flat of the normal tuning relative to the lower string corresponding to it. For example, E-standard E tuning, A-tuned 25 cents flat, D-tuned to standard pitch with the 25 cent flat A, then tuned flat 25 cents, etc. The same tuning pattern on all strings will allow for microtones to be played. Hope this clears the confusion!

This is really cool...very different, yet good to listen to.
The guitar design is also pretty sweet...Far-out, but cool!
