Guitar Minute Lesson #01 - Why songs in G# should NOT be played on guitar

[VintageSH]

I just don't see the point.

Bar Chords sounds aweful anyways. Especially when they are played in a "Rock" song.

Power Chords does the work way better than that ~

Also... Well there's not only "Chords" when you play the guitar, so I guess the title si a little bit confusing when you say a "song" and " should not "

I did some stuff with Guitar Rig in G# ; There was no bar chords, and I liked it so... Yeah, I don't see the point ^^

@VintageSH - I think you didnt see or heard that I played open strings with the PC. In this case, neither B or E would sound good. So the point IS: if you hear a song in G# on guitar, probably it is played in 5th position and guitar is downtuned to Eflat.

"You need to retune the guitar to play G# with open strings, or use a capo."

Actually this is my way to show a friend that some song she hears in # or b keys are actually guitars tuned down.

You need to retune the guitar to play G# with open strings, or use a capo.

Actually, if used in sparse phrasing that dissonant sound could work. You shouldn't play more than one measure of it back to back for too long. Please.

Em composição existe uma razão específica para se escrever músicas em tonalidades como G#m ou mesmo as tonalidades com bemóis. É o fato de que em tais tonalidades as cordas soltas dos instrumentos da família de cordas (Violinos, violas, celos e baixos) não soam por simpatia. Logo, são tonalidades ditas turvas, sem brilho. Escolhemos tais tonalidades se queremos esse tipo específico de sonoridade turva. Em música composta específicamente para violão ou guitarra vale o mesmo.

[KingTabor]

Perfeita a explanação do Dr. Hugo! O que não se pode olvidar são as idiosincrasias da guitarra, que através do uso de cordas soltas ajudaram a formar o som cheio e aberto de bandas como o Rush (Alex Lifeson).

Ademais, guitarristas técnicos (não confundir com "virtuosos" ou "shredderes") sempre estão abafando as cordas que não DESEJAM que soem.
